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.

- KTs will have a far higher chance of flopping top two pair and of that two pair holding up/outdrawing flopped trips etc.
E.g flop: KT7 with KT vs 77 you will have 4 outs plus some runner-runners.
flop: 527 with 52 vs 77 you are almost dead
- Your K high flush is significantly less likely to be a lower flush in flush vs flush situation.
- You can push all in with KTs on a flush draw and maybe have a live overcard.
E.g KTs vs QQ/Aj on a J73 board.
These all increase your overall equity greatly.

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.)

A succesful LAG games relies on playing aggresively with a wide range of hands preflop and on the flop when stakes are small leading to people thinking you bluff alot and paying you off when you flop big hands or tiltishly playing 99/AQ all in when you reraise them for the 3rd time and you have picked up AA.
Calling with 52s OOP is just loose.
