There is merit to that line of reasoning. One of the silliest things I see regularly posted is to "look for a better spot" in a cash game. Either you're getting the best of money you're putting into the pot, you're not or it's really close. Figure it out. Unless the pot is tiny, poker punishes weak folds in tougher games.

Still, you're going to need some god-like reads if you're going to keep sticking it in all-in 100 deep with a pair. When you look at big pots, 1 pair doesn't fair too well when all of the money goes it. When it does win a big pot you're almost always against a draw, bluff, idiot or have AA/KK in the hole.
