Easiest fold for me, but 1 time i missclicked and pressed call, and full house on the flop😉
 
I only play 72 in bb if it's suited and only facing a min raise. It should never be played otherwise.
 
Not too long ago I had 7 2 in the BB - a hand I would always toss even in the SB.

The flop came 772 for a full house (someone told a similar story above). So it can be a winning hand and it can be used in a bluff. In fact Gyorgi made that play in an EPT final Table which brought the house down...if you have never seen this hand watch it, it is outrageous! Look up....

That said, I find this philosophy of 'playing any two hands', which somehow proves what a baller you are, over the top. Playing rags with anything close to regularity and you will be found out in short order. Yes, a tight aggressive player can get away with this as a single, out of character play. A one and done. Push that further and you will be in trouble.
 
To fold! Sometimes you can to limp it on SB sv BB to check the opps reaction on it) vs tight opps (fold EV ~50%) you can use it to steal the blinds.
 
Wow this is really bad for being in the learning section, IMO. It's the worst hand in poker and someone's advocating for actively playing it. You might as well just not look at your cards in this case and simply bluff with any two. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Just my $0.02. 🙂
