woody - I see posts now and then where people seek to justify folding huge hands based on some super small sample size. They hate that sometimes when you have KK someone has AA, or has AK and will draw out, and that you often have to take flips when there is money in the pot. So they pray they can look up at their HUD and see a 4/1 or something and be blinded off instead of playing JJ against a 'tight' MP raiser.

we make a read based on 26 hands and opt to fold a monster, given low stack.

This one was just goofy.
These are just examples, I put some more thoughts above in ginger's post but the point is, making a decision that is SUBSTANTIALLY different from typical play based on the sample you are likely to have on most villians just doesn't work for me. If I saw people posting stuff with 500 hands behind it I'd feel better, but that is uncommon in SNG land and almost unheard of in MTT world. And if 200 of those hands are at 150/300 or more when opp had a huge stack, and you're playing 25/50 against him as a shorty...
