Standard Plays.... Not so standard, to me.

MUCH more likely that you are ahead, and you have a very good chance in an average game of taking it down uncontested.

This is where we disagree. We are probably ahead, but I think the chances of taking it down uncontested vs. 3 opponents at 50 and 100 NL is approximately 0%. No way you take it down often enough here to be betting any 2. (assuming no reads)

They will call with as little as 2 overcards, which they all probably have.

I like my spot in hand 2 much more (again adssuming no reads). I have fewer opponents, a higher pair, a higher kicker, and 3 outs to a big hand. Position is important, but it's not everything.
