Lately I have been making like Daniel Negreanu on HSP (at least the season 2 version) and paying off everyone and everything. Can I find some folds here? If yes, what should be running through my head while I'm thinking? Is it a matter of running through hands that beat me and the likelihood of each hand? When I put the hand back together in my head, I can always think of a whole bunch that beat me and a bunch that don't, so I call.
