Yeah, this is a good point to bring up. TBH, I had forgotten that this was where I had picked up this nugget of wisdom. But it coming from him reminds me to say two things:
1. When you raise from EP with big suited connectors, it is actually much more common for you to flop a tough decision than an easy one. Say you raised KJs and you whiff on the flush/straight possibilities but pick up a pair of kings. This is not really that good a flop (in that you are in trouble if the pot starts getting big), and you have to play it carefully.
2. Points like point 1 are so elementary to Baluga Whale that he sometimes forgets to mention them when he is doing his video commentary. I lost some big pots with top pair ****ty kicker before I relearned the lesson as it applies to deep FR.
