HU it doesn’t wiff 88% of the time. Your A is often live and usually your kicker is too
5 handed that’s not the case
Same thing goes for pocket pairs
Again you’re confusing difficulty with EV. You didn’t understand the difference between EV and equity so hopefully this clears something else up for you
Also with 12% to flop a FD, that’s when you flop 36% equity.
It’s not like you flop a flush. You’re literally hoping to flop a draw that completes about 1/3 of the time
