The sense of adventure comment was more of a joke than anything.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with calling PF here. It's not like this is a tournament where I need to conserve chips. I'm giving up $2 PF while getting 3.5 to 1 on my money with a suited 2 gap connector. If I had made the call here with a hand like J8s/Q9s/KTs, no one would have a problem with that and frankly I don't see a big difference between those hands and a hand like 52s.

Plus if neither of my opponents have an overpair, I'm already getting the right price to make the call. If one of my opponents has an overpair, I'm about a 5 to 1 dog and I'm taking the worst of it. BUT...my implied odds could be huge with the right flop. If I hit a big enough hand to win the pot, I only need to make $4 after the flop to justify taking the worst of it PF and it's obviously not going to be too hard to make $4 after the flop here.

It's all part of a successful LAG game. You play loose early, when the bets are small relative to the size of the final pot (ie $2 PF vs the $84 pot that I won.)

And Eclipse, I can't tell if this is sarcasm?
