My point was that a computer will calculate the cold odds more correctly, but the human player who has suspicion will recognize more often when the lower probability event has actually occurred. Virtually everyone in this forum in the QQ99 example intuitively knew that someone had AQ even though "statistically speaking" it was more unlikely.
So when you resort to range of possible hand analysis and use statistics to determine probabilities, I think you are surrendering one of your most powerful intuitive weapons.

Yes and my intuitive decision was that you had a live hand and the odds to call, either your straight was good or your flush draw. I couldn't see both being dead, not in the games I play anyway, I see people shove a lot less.
