Just wondering as I don't think we fold out much better> No we don-t but i rather be the aggro in the hand, put him on a spot to make a mistake (fold AJ and 55-22 maybe)
call with KQs, QJs, JTs + reducing his positional advantage.

Certainly decent points, I just definitely prefer taking flops w/ this hand vs UTG range.
We can get 4b somewhat frequently (meaning we lose 10 BB's or whatever we put in as our 3b).
We are also playing a bigger pot OOP vs a flat.
Sure we can fold out 22-55 (maybe even up to 99 dependent on V), but those hands only had like a 5% edge on us anyway + they are hard to play post flop (meaning we can exploit his weak plays when over-cards flop etc.)
Also we are 'fairly' often going to be dominated when V does decide to take flops (meaning we have pretty bad rev impl odds on A high boards).
My main argument is that I don't see why we need to turn such a strong hand w/ decent potential into a bluff pre.
