And hands like AJ, AT, A4, and A3 don't count in the listing of hands that weren't "anything strong" pre-flop? They saw the flop for cheap, you made a pot sized bet, and someone was thrilled enough with what they flopped to shove all-in... and then... to make matters worse... another player calls and puts themselves all-in... at what point could you possibly think top pair 9-kicker was good? Just because they didn't raise pre-flop and wanted to see it cheap doesn't stop them from flopping really strong. A lot of players will limp 44 and 33 (especially after other people and with position). How about the SB... easily priced into calling with hands like 2-5 suited... 5-6 suited (in hearts)... how about 34... and so on...
Calling in that spot would be bankroll suicide. Sure... in this one instance you would have gotten a split pot... but in 99% of the other times, you'd have been so far behind it wouldn't be funny.
