Basically this. It’s a little better OTB, but even then the vast majority players wont show a profit flatting 5 high from the CO or even OTB, whether they want to believe it or not. It doesnt matter if you’re 170bb deep.
1) you hardly ever have the nuts when all the money goes in postflop (overstraighted/overflushed/over-tripped
2) you have 5 high
3) you dont have absolute position, and if BTN calls he will own you a lot IP
4) you can get squeezed
5) the raise size is really huge to flat vs profitably
6)
you have 5 high. Just fold
7) being able to draw to the nuts in deep pots is invaluable and underrated
Hand postflop seems fine. Ott i would just flat. You’re getting almost 4 to 1, and there are some implied odds
