There isn't really much point playing 56s from the BB when you have loose opponents, just play a tight range and value bet a lot when you hit.

It cost me 0.06 to play a hand that plays well in a multi-way pot. No way I am ever folding this pre.

lol? I can almost guarantee you aren't showing a profit when you cold call this hand in the BB v 2 opponents OOP for 4x.

Number 1) You hit ~25% of flops this is obviously amazing and alone makes the hand playable.

2) Wait it's really hard to win pots at this level prior to showdown especially without initiative.

3) 1/4 of these is flush draws or some variation of flush draws. Wait what happens when we get overflushed? We lose our entire stack 100% of the time. Well that's fine we can hit straights!!!111

4) Lets see what straights we can make:
234 - This straight gets paid a tonne everytime because our opponents totally nail the board at a super high frequency when it contains 234!!!11

347- Re 234

478- Re 234, but not quite as bad.

789- Well I hope we already know the shitty end of a straight is not great especially when if when the board contains T or J our hand is worth diddly squat.

Okay okay we still have 2pairs.

5) We'll make these 2% of the time! Yeh buddy!!!11 But wait our 2pairs are small and not even a huge favourite v their AI ranges but it's k.

6) Combo draws!!!11 Okay cool some of these aren't that great due to the prior reasons and even if we do hit huge combo draws we are OUT of position so we are at our opponents mercy.


But it's fine I'm folding 56s in the BB here because I'm a "nit" not because our hand is literally 6high.

edit: MP doesn't even have 100bb which obviously makes this hand that much worst. Next time you want to call someone a nit come up with an actual argument as to why this is a profitable cold call out of position. Don't just state things I can obviously see for myself.

edit2: 7) We flop boats and quads about 1.5% of the flop. Too bad our our opponents are rarely going to catch pieces of these boards.

It's not a cold call, it's an over-call.

(Does that make me a grammar nit?)

Other than that, I 2nd this entire post. If the open was 3x, though... I might have made the same call as Hero, but upon reading this, I see that is a leak.

Number 1) You hit ~25% of flops this is obviously amazing and alone makes the hand playable. - Point taken

2) Wait it's really hard to win pots at this level prior to showdown especially without initiative. - Not really

3) 1/4 of these is flush draws or some variation of flush draws. Wait what happens when we get overflushed? We lose our entire stack 100% of the time. Well that's fine we can hit straights!!!111 - Point taken

4) Lets see what straights we can make:
234 - This straight gets paid a tonne everytime because our opponents totally nail the board at a super high frequency when it contains 234!!!11 - Yeah mate, nobody ever stacks off with overpairs, 2P, sets or spews with AK at 2NL.

347- Re 234 - Re234

478- Re 234, but not quite as bad. - Re 234

789- Well I hope we already know the shitty end of a straight is not great especially when if when the board contains T or J our hand is worth diddly squat.
