Okay, now we're getting somewhere. You call with AA in the 4-opponent all-in situation because the pot odds are so high. Fine. Then you would also call in this spot with KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, and 88 because they all have winning percentages of 40% or better, right? You shouldn't even have to think about it. Actually, with those high pot odds you could go all the way down to 55, or even hands like K9 and QT because they all have at least a 30% winning percentage, right? I mean, who wouldn't take a 30% chance at quadrupling your money?

This is where I was going with my question. At what point do you discount the pot odds and concentrate on survival? How close does it need to be in order for you to fold, even if you have the advantage? It might take a lot of thought when deciding to call an even money proposition with a 51% edge. But do you even have to think about it when you're getting 4:1 with a 30% edge?
