Default Re: TPNK in limped pot

Eh. I don't want to win a small postflop pot here, I want to make a nut flush or wheel or two pair and I want to win a big one.

This is flawed thinking you want to maximize your EV in this situation, so winning lots of smaller pots can have a higher expectation of winning that one big pot. Also this guy limped 2 off the button, his hand probably sucks, so raise his ass. Also by raising the pot preflop the pot will now be bigger postflop so when you hit a big hand you have a better chance of being paid off.
