Context: Small Blind opens to 3bb. You are defending with K6o. Why is this hand considered a 'Realization Leak' compared to a hand like 74s?
- It makes dominated top pairs that are forced to pay off better kickers, leading to 'Reverse Implied Odds'.
- It has less raw equity against the Small Blind's opening range than 74s.
- K6o is easier to bluff with, so you will often lose more by trying to 'play back' at the SB. (under this line)
- The Combinatorics-Count of K6o is higher, making it a more 'common' mistake.
