Listen, I think what Entity is trying to say is that by avoiding bloating the pot with a preflop raise(even though the raise is +EV), he can better outplay his opponents after the flop, in a smaller pot(in terms of SB).

This, to me, is similar to Ed Miller's advocating waiting to raise certain hands until the turn, where the bet size doubles, and you can outplay your opponents on fourth street instead of pumping the flop.

You sacrifice a TINY bit of EV preflop in return for gaining MORE EV later on where you can demonstrate your better postflop skills. Just like waiting till the turn where the bet sizes double so you can give incorrect odds to crappy draws.

Am I close, Entity?
