Alot of people seem to be playing any two cards to any preflop raise. I try to stay away from them but so many of them seem to be hitting flushes these day. Maybe its just the 'online' factor but is it a good idea to play them? Does any one play them regularly? and how often do they pay?

It seems like it, doesn't it. Just now I made a big raise in a pot with several limpers, I was deals AA. Now this one guy calls me, and the flop comes out all hearts. Turns out he had 23 of hearts. People tend to go all in more on flush draws these days in my opinion. Can really piss me off when they calls against the odds and hit. Maybe they watch Hanson en Negreanu and decide that's gonna be their style too or something. Personally I don't hit that often on flush draws. Strange thing.

I tend to avoid low suited unconnected cards. There is just too many things that can go wrong. Most people that play them on a regular basis will wind up losing their stack in the long run. I does get frustrating when when people go in on hands they have no business being in and wind up winning the pot.

cheers,

I like to play suited connectors (even low ones), but I only play them if I am in a late position and the raise hasn't gone past 3xBB. If I am in early position with a lot of people to call after me, I normally don't play.

Seems people call all day long with suited cards. More frieghtening is how many people will gamble all their chips after hitting the flush draw.

If you can get in cheap and playing these hands every oonce and a while can bust someone. Every once and a while you will get the nut flop and bang look out for the fireworks. When it happens it feels great, when it doesn't an auto fold is the play and move on.

I limp Kxs and Qxs in early position, too.
If they "connect" in any way like A-10s, K-9s, Q-8s, J-7s and so on - even better.
If I get a high raise before the flop - fold.
I don't chase the flush draw, I'll check to it and call any minimum raises, sometimes I even place minimum raise which must be considered a weak bluff.
Good opponents reraise this. - I do not get many raises, though.
Maybe they put me on medium pair ? I do not know.
If I hit the flop or the turn with a flush or a 2 pair it's time for rock'nroll.
:party:
