<-- Taking advantage of flops that have reverse implied odds like 46K rainbow -->
It's well advised to not have too much attachment to premium hands AA-77, AKs, AQs. Equally, we often dismiss hands some might call rags -- Unsuited one, two, and three gapped cards, Ax, etc - just junk. It usually doesn't take much experience to realise the futility of playing weak hands frequently - generally a bad idea.
But I will postulate that in some cases, mindfully, adding those kind of hands to one's range could be fruitful from a number of points of view. Playing some hands like the one's mentioned above with the right flop at the right price may allow and aspect of your game's creativity you have been unable to explore.
Also, as I explore this line of thinking, adding starting hands like aforementioned, at a reasonable frequency, may present more value down the line with semi-bluffs, create more uncertainty for villain, and pay off when you make a premium hand, especially on a board with reverse implied odds like 46K rainbow.
Of course, position and the characteristic of Villain(s), but that is always the case.
What say yee all?
