63s is definetly behind the top 50% of hands, and by a pretty large margin with most of them.

Hot cold sims are not that useful. Instead of blindly calling to the river, let's assume I only play past the flops with a flush draw or other very favorable holding.

OK, well I don't remember the exact numbers, but a flush draw is about 5%, a straight draw is considerably less, spiking a pair is about 1/3 (and that is not necessarily a favorable holding depending on the rest of the board), and the fact that almost all cards are overcards which again vs a 50% raiser is bad news.

I fold pre-flop, and don't think it is that close.

Post-flop looks fine.

Yeah, preflop is confusing. Let's assume PFR is a 50% raiser and BB fold only 1% of his blinds. Actually even then I think a fold is good.

Yeah - you'll need to hit and hit big to win this hand in most cases. And the extra $5 to play in the SB compared to BB makes a difference. Imagine both hands played from the BB or SB, and the end pot is going to be 10 BBs. Investing $10 from the BB gives you implied odds of 19:1 when you take the pot (10 BBs = $200; -$10 PF investment = $190; $190:$10 = 19:1). From the SB, having to invest $15, the same pot on the end offers only 12.3:1 ($185:$15). It doesn't feel like much in $$ terms, but the hit to our implieds is significant, and makes the immediate PF odds offered if BB comes along and UTG calls not seem nearly as good. For example, I might call any 2 suited in the BB getting 5:1 with a raise and an SB coolcall and be happy about it, so why shouldn't I be happy with the 4.33:1 I'm getting if in your example BB calls and UTG calls? Implied odds take a big hit.

It's important to know how often you flop a flush draw. It's not 5%. It's 1/8.

trips = 73:1
FD = 8.1:1
