You have to realise that employing a strategy that constantly finds you playing junk hands oop is not a good way to make money playing poker. It really is that simple.
well of course theres no math to prove your point so its kind of an irrelevant discussion. the concept of rio is sort of outdated anyway cause people got so much better postflop in recent years that they started to realize that auto stacking off with marginal tp hands in raised pots isnt the greatest idea. would you fold 78o in that spot as well?
playing "junk hands" oop is completely fine and more profitable than folding them if a) the price is right (which it is in ops spot) and b) you know how to play postflop (which people come to the forums for).
also your tone is pretty arrogant which is ridiculous given your advice is sub par to say at least. maybe being a little more open minded to an approach to the game you dont know yet or cannot comprehend atm wont hurt you.
edit: also btw there's probably no need to derail this thread any further because we seem to have completely different understandings of this spot so its fine to agree to disagree i guess. if you want to discuss this further, feel free to pm me.
