The reason a lot of the better players make the right calls in these situations ie not necessarily putting their money in where the number of outs give them the nuts, but in situations where they believe their hand is either ahead or the pot odds determine the call easy in relation to the chances they have of winning the hand

To play the odds everytime time, in my opinion, is not going to make you a great player. There have been several occasions where I will fold what I feel may be the best hand against aggressive players when the odds are in my favour, like if I am holding 88 and I am facing an all in move when I am pretty sure he is holidng KJos or some form or mediocre overcards. This is mainly because I am putting my tourney on the line in a coinflip against a poor/aggressive player where I am a slight favourite, and could just as easily be outdrawn

At the same time, playing the odds can also be very affective.

I think the ability of a player to choose these situations untimately seperates the good players from the extremely good players
