Re: a not so hypothetical
gettin 6.5:1 most of my holdings are going to have the pot looking more enticing than getting half a sb (or a whole one) back. So id prefer to play the hand than concede it with any suited 2 or 3 gapper or offsuit connector even if i KNEW i was against an overpair. Even a hand like K2s if i knew i only had one overcard at best i think id still rather see the flop than get some money back.
I guess u could argue there are huge reverse implied odds with all of these hands, so my thinking here is somewhat flawed. But our equity against his range is usually not more than a 4:1 dog if even on avg with all our trash hands. So calling preflop is +EV by more than half a small bet I think.
