I can't even begin to tell you how stupid this sounds to anyone who has played HU nl cash games. Seriously, where to begin?

Ace + crap kicker is good enough to call a raise oop with.
This has to be a joke right?

The chance an A flops is a meagre 17%. So 5/6 times we lose money straight out (no draws help us to make up for this at all). We get almost nothing from him if he has no A and we hit top pair. If he has Ace with a lower rag, we get almost nothing because we are going for pot control having such a bad kicker. If they have an A, we are out kicked most of the time. We also can't defend properly against draws being oop and having such a [censored] kicker, so we are in a terrible reverse implied odds situation.

The only use of A6o pf oop hu is to pure bluff with it, and at least 46s we can semi-bluff with and may fold out better hands and have a chance of hitting a monster sometimes with our disguised hand. Even j4o is better because at least we have one live card and can toss it more easliy than when an A drops and we don't have the discipline to let it go when we have tp.

Pf is a total spew. Thinking it isn't is the biggest leak you can have in your game.
