Gosh, I am so guilty of this!  I have this flaw of holding people to the same standards that I hold for myself.  If I would fold AT-off MP to a raise from UTG, then I want to think that so should everyone else.  I know this is wrong.
 
I used to race BMX (dirt bicycles) when I was young.  The typical race was like a sprint that lasted around 30 seconds.  So it turned out that the most important part of the race was getting a good start out of the gate.  If you got a bad start, you almost never had enough time to catch up unless everyone slipped a pedal or fell down.  I seem to have the same faulty impression with poker, also. 
 
If you don't have good starting cards, how can you expect to win with only 5 cards to come?  I guess it might have to do with skill level, experience, and confidence.  I see guys like Gus Hansen bluff the hell out of everyone with 62 offsuit.  But when I try it, I get creamed.
 
I guess Gus never says "How could you call with XX?" because he knows he can also do that and win.  I hope I can be like that someday.  Practice, practice!
