Is there ever a time to ignore pot odds?

The main reason for my post is I often see an opponent make a bet that is not mathematically sound to call because you are not getting the odds. The twist is that I am talking about small or minimum bets where it looks like (and often is) an extremely weak attempt to steal the pot.

Eg: blinds are 10/20, UTG calls, all fold to the SB who calls and you check the BB. 60 in the pot. You flop an inside straight, UTG checks and SB min bets 20, making it 5 to 1 to call with only an 11 to 1 chance of getting your card.

Now this could be any example - an OES (6 to 1), pairing one of your hole cards (7.5 to 1), whatever. It could be on the flop or turn. Quite simply any example where the odds don't add up. This is a quick example only, please don't try and tear it apart or go deeper by bringing in implied odds.

In addition, be it a weak steal or not, if the bet is very small compared to your stack, say one of the opening games of a tourney, it is quite minor to call whereas if you hit that straight or flush then it can pay off big time. I appreciate this may be -EV in the long run (see that? It looks like I understand EV!) but there may be circumstances when it's ok to do so - especially at the start of tourneys.

A final thought on overriding pot odds is if you have an aggressive individual who likes making pot sized bets (especially when the pot is relatively small). Constantly obeying pot odds is surely inviting domination in this case?

Currently, I am selectively overriding pot odds - only selectively.
