    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.
