[2NL] 56s in BB, 3-way pot. Action flop

edit: Also how are you going to ever get to "high" stakes if you are purposely making -eV plays rather then trying to recognize that a situation at the nano's is completely different from "high" stakes.

OK, I have tried to explain to you that I would prefer to lose $2 instead of $5/$10/$1,000,000 learning to play these hands now than at the higher stakes. The end.

you realise that this is saying "i want to make less money/progress than i could", don't you?

also, your comparison of making $2 mistakes to $1000000 mistakes doesn't really hold, because they are just BB's in a bankroll, you should care as much about losing 100bb at 2nl as you should at 10knl imo (obviously easier said than done but that's the goal)

furthermore, your "learning how to play certain hands" logic is kind of bogus too imo. sure, you should always play the most hand combinations you can possibly play with a positive expectation. but it has been shown to you in this thread that calling preflop here does not have a positive expectation. so you should fold and learn to play 65s in a spot where it is actually possible for it to be a winning investment. extrapolating from your "i should learn how to play this hand now while at 2nl even if i'm shown it's -EV" statement, why don't you just call 100% of your range here and learn how to play every single hand on the matrix? i mean, if it doesn't matter to you whether the hands in your range have a positive or negative EV, fuck it, might as well get some experience playing 92o in these spots while you're at 2nl, right?
