If your stack is healthy, there are times you can afford to pass up an unclear gamble; but generally, if you know the pot odds are in your favor by a substantial amount but you pass anyway, you're just not playing good poker.

Pot odds were not substantially in my favor by making this call. The pot was laying me less than 2:1. I am 2.1:1 to flop a pair. If an ace or king fell and he indeed had tens, I doubt he's putting much more money in the pot. Perhaps given the implied odds that he's going to put a bit more in there just to not give his tens up, maybe we're getting 2.1:1 on our money.

edit: my pot odds to call his raise at the time was 1.8.1.
