You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I when I meant "in fact" I really meant based on all factual evidence at hand. I ran a lot of simulations on the situation and found that 2 pair back is, in fact, the best play.
We can argue the validity and accuracy of the simulator, as it is certainly not perfect, but when I see an EV difference of 2 points, it usually means the simulator is correct.
Are you sure you aren't falling into a few cognitive biases here and remembering the "misses" more than the "hits?"
I'm always excited to see such turmoil over these kinds of situations because it just validates the value of having a simulator on hand.
