I think the first I was aware how players love 9-7 was probably about 10-12 years ago. I was watching a tournament on pokerstars with Apestyles. He 4-bet all in with 97s and he was up against Aces.
When they flipped the cards, I thought "WTF, He went all in with 97? What is he crazy ?"
Sure enough, the flop comes, and he rivers a straight, or was it a flush ?
Either way, he won that hand and since then I started playing 9-7 as often as I could. I still do, and so does most players.
Is it really that strong of a hand?
Why don't we fall in love 10-8 or 8-6 or 7-5?
Something about 9-7 that players go crazy over.
Tell me what you all think. Do you play that suited connector more often then any others?
