If you have 35% equity and pot odds says you only need 30% then it could still be better to fold.
Because your equity isnt that much higher than what is required. You also have to think about rake.
And maybe the villain is tough, not necessarily better than you, but you could definitely make some mistakes and end up on spots you're not sure what is best decision. So you could end up playing the end hand overall much more -EV than just folding preflop even though it would have been in that vacuum more +ev to call than fold.
Maybe you are really smart when you think a lot but maybe you are unbalanced when thinking so long time and giving timing tells.
