I deleted my comments because like MVP said we need to try to keep this civil. I think there is actually some pretty good poker stuff in her mixed in with the BS. So let me give my 2 cents about the poker here.
Dont go broke in an unraised pot, I really hate this concept. Sure there are situations where it is solid advice. You try to limp raise with AA, the flop comes down KQJ and there is a bet and raise in front of you. I think the real question is is your play +ev or not. I have a bankroll for a reason, I have no problem losing money raised or unraised pot if my long term EV is positive. I think in this case it is, yes you can be up against a 3 possible straights, A2, 26 and 67 but you are also going to be up against sets, overpairs, two pairs, all of which you have drawing super thin. Even if you are up against one of the 3 hands that has you beat you are still only a 2:1 dog. I probably check call the turn but I'm probably going broke on the river.

Northview, I think there is some good merit to what Doyle has to say, but like anything in poker it doesnt really apply to all situations. To apply any rule blindly is stupid. According to this idea if I limp utg with JJ and the flop is J35 with 2 suited cards and some player pushs all in. If you want to apply this idea blindly you should fold because you dont want to chance going broke in an unraised pot. Obviously no one is folding the nut here but it does make the point, a good poker player has to play the situation and not set rules to always follow.
