Just because someone didn't have the proper odds to suck out doesn't mean we are obligated to pay them off when they do. I tend to do it a lot, and I'm not so sure that I shouldn't have been able to get away from some of them. The most optimistic calculations so far show that Hero will defeat villian's range of hands 50% of the time at showdown. And as it has already been brought up earlier, some of the assumptions made in that calculation may not be accurate (specifically with regard to how likely AK is). Hero made a read on the opposition's range of hands and went with it. The math based upon that read ends up being close (when the probability of AK is reduced). At worst he lost a few dollars of EV by folding, at best he saved a few dollars. So once again, I don't see the big deal. There are surely more significant things to worry about.
