medium · Poker Theory Fundamentals

In a 6-max cash game, why are overcards to a middle-pair-heavy board often considered 'dirty' when facing an early position raiser?

1. The raiser's range contains many high-card hands that already pair with those overcards.
2. Overcards have lower EqR because they are easy to bluff off.
3. Middle pairs always have 80% equity against overcards.
4. The Rule of 4 overestimates the probability of hitting a pair. (under this line) (under this line)
