Actually I do let pot odds enter into my thinking, but it's not my No. 1 consideration. It's just one of many factors that go into my thinking when I'm going to chase something. I'm still working on trying to figure out how to balance using pots odds when I think my opponent may be a big pot odds believer. I've found that most people simply call anything when chasing a flush, especially if it's the nut flush. And I have found a lot of people who will also call just about anything when chasing a gut shot straight. Those are the ones you can exploit pretty big.

Last night I was playing in my Pub Poker league and a guy had a nut flush draw (he had a suited pocket with the ace) after the flop twice, and another guy went all-in both times after the flop. Both times the guy with the nut flush called and hit his flush on the river. I don't think either of those situations in pot odds would have dictated a call (the first time he had to call 16,000 into a pot of 22,000 (if my math is right, that's ~ 42%) and - to me, more importantly - he was covered. The second time the pots were something similar but this time he had the other guy covered.
