Re: preflop equity

I still will fold 44 and 67s though. It can still be difficult to play those postflop even if you have the equity (ie. you are not calling to the river with 44 hoping to spike your set, therefore you lose some equity if you don't flop it)

You make a good point here. If you don't feel comfortable - or aren't very good after the flop - then playing these hands is probably -EV for you. However - even mediocre players can make these hands profitable. I think you're overestimating the difficulty in playing these hands after the flop.

For example with the 67s You are getting odds to call with any piece, so 2 more SB on the flop to PICK UP A DRAW. You have odds to runner runner draws to straights / flushes / two pair etc, essentially calling 2 bets on the flop with nothing because the pot is so big. I don't like the idea of having to put 6 SB's into a pot to see if I can pick up a runner runner winning hand.
