Hi skp,

"The argument that you might get sucked in for bets postflop is not a reason to fold preflop."

Actually it's the only argument. And it's a good one, for those it applies to, which I guess is me and mike, and most of my opponents over the years. I can testify to thousands of data points on this issue, as the one getting paid all the way postflop by the lower pair who is absolutely certain I have a big pair but calls anyway, and as the one with the lower pair who is absolutely certain I am beat but call all three postflop streets anyway. On every one of those specific hands, the right play, in metaland, for me and my opponents, was to fold preflop.
