- 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.

Fair enough. There is some difference between a low 2 gap suited connector and a higher one. I guess the point I was trying to make is that they both have the same chance of making 2 pair or better and most of the time that is all it will take to win a decent sized pot.

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.

I disagree. I don't just play LAG to get paid off on my big hands. I also play a LAG style to take away pots that no one seems to want (this one being a perfect example.)
