Re: logic flawed? NL limp or raise
You seem to be forgetting that AJ can stand a CALL better than 87s can. When called it can win un improved, and it is still a winning hand when it flops a pair. Its value drops (drastically) only the tightest players call or some reasonable player reraises.
But back to your example. 72o cannot stand a raise but you won't raise with it. The reason to call with 87s isn't because it can call a raise, its because its value is based on implied odds and that means get in as cheaply as possible.

Having said all that, there ARE times (excluding bluffs) when you'll bet a lesser hand and check a better hand.
