I've made some great calls based simply on pot odds when my opponents are just min. betting when I have an inside straight draw. I just made a series of calls about an hour ago in a tourney based on pot odds alone.

I was pretty sure I was beat, but the pot odds were so good that I had to call. And his betting felt as though he was on some kind of a draw or weak hand, so just maybe my bottom pair was good. And it ended up paying off.
