Suited connectors? Low PP? Am I making sense? Do you see why?

no you're not.

istead of saying "Am I making sense? " or "Do you see why?"

why don't you just come out with it?

He just means that Hattifnat is leaving money on the table by folding 22 under the gun, for example.

There is nothing wrong with limping low pocket pairs in early position--position isn't nearly as much of an issue when you have a hand with such a huge informational advantage. This hand thrives both multiway as well as heads-up when the stacks are even slightly deep.

Suited connectors... eh. These hands can be limped up front in loose/passive games, but they tend to flop too many marginal hands that get tough to play out of position. Plus, a lot of straight/flush draws are tough to chase profitably out of position.

Same thing with Axs. Under certain conditions you can be limping these under the gun, but the problem becomes chasing draws profitably when you're out of position.
