I'll do white because all the cool kids are doing it:

<font color="white">So let's say you're in a table that's particularly averse to cold-calling (this is a pretty contrived example but illustrates the question well). You could raise your 99 (UTG) and win the blinds right there, or you could limp and let all sorts of crappy naked aces (that you have an equity edge against) limp in behind you. Despite the fact that your hand is now more vulnerable to overcards, you're in a +EV situation, since you have an equity edge against 1 overcard, n'est pas? It's similar to the "winning money &gt; winning pots" statements.</font>
