Example, All suited.6/5, 6/4
5/4, 5/3
4/3 4/2




I have noticed that these cards play similar to KJ. You will win a small pot or lose a large one.


I have been playing these hands in late position, but still getting into trouble.


At this point I’m going to stop playing these hands. Feel that they cause more trouble than they are worth. Any thoughts boys?

Depends how hard you hit the flop worth a look if cheap to get in on blinds somebody min raises or whatever good luck.

when playing these hands you must always be aware of the reverse implied odds, especially on straight draws, cause flush against flush happens rarely as you have blockers, which can make you lose maybe more than when you have the best hand

Not a big mathematical error if you do this, and just not play these hands.

You need to be aware of what these hands can and can not do for you, and where and when you can play them. If I start with a ( 7d,6d ) I'm looking to hit a straight, two-pair, or trips over a flush. Seven high flush draws are a losing proposition, and if I flop a made flush, then I'm jamming or putting in a big overbet. If I'm over flushed, them's the breaks. If the villain has ( Ad,Ax) ( Kd,Kx ) or ( Qd,Qx ) I can charge him a hefty premium to suck out.

These hands are also good stealing hands from late positions. You'd prefer just taking down the blinds, but at least you have something to fall back on if called.

They're also good IP calling hands. If the flop comes: ( K, 7, 6 ) then the opener with ( A,K ) is going to lose a few chips.

i love them in the blinds, but i'll play them occasionally when there's a series of limps in front, but i'll abandon without pot odds on the draws.

it all depends on my position and how the cards have been going for me. I don't play them all the time. but I will play them depending on how im feeling.

Personally I hate the low suited connectors, either in or out of position. However, if the table is quite tight, and I feel as though I can push people off, then I’ll possibly call if I’m in position and c-bet. This is all board, game and opponent dependant of course

I just reviewed some hand histories. Lost quite a bit of coin playing those hands.

I think that these hands should be played only in the later stages of the tournament + this requires a favorable position at the table. If each time to hope for good luck and to play these hands, you just do not get to the finals of the tournament.

You have to play these hands after which position you have, and how many are left. You can win with these, but you will lose more often

With these hands you want rainbow straights and straight flushes. Maybe a boat here and there. You are going to want to limp with them in large multiway pots. They have to be dumped to any big raises. You are better off not playing them often if at all.

I like suited connectors. I do not discriminate. The cooler is a small flush against the better one.
