This sounds like the argument that unsuited 76 is better than suited 76 b/c you won't get tied to the pot with the unsuited version.

I need to read it again. Josh is basically saying stay away from dominated hands, which sounds fine in the context.

No, I agree with Your Mom. Josh is saying that 73o is better than K3o because with 73o, you will usually only continue with something like trips or two pair and that will definitely win money for you postflop. But with K3o, in addition to the times that you flop trips or two pair, there will also be times that you flop a pair of kings and then you will be obligated to continue, but a pair of kings here loses money overall so you do worse with K3 than 73. The idea is obviously absurd because you could theoretically just fold everytime you flopped a marginal hand with K3, just like 76s can't be worse than 76o since you could theoretically just ignore it's suitedness and have it be equivalent.
