Do you play low-mid suited connectors (3-4 7-8) during low blind play.
To me it makes good sense if your stake Can handle it, but i always limp those. Am i completely wrong?

And.....

I dont know if im wrong, but imagine you are Playing a sng mid-blind (100/50 or 200/100 etc), would you stil go with low-mid suited connectors, with around 10-12 BB? . I've seen so many people Call with low suited connectors mid blind stage, and i just dont get it.

If you would Call These hands, in what position would you do it? Mid-late-cutoff?

You can open raise it, I guess and thats also just fine ( if you are in late position).
I personally dont like limping in 9men tables, but its also ok.

At mid-stage there is no point in calling.( only maybe if its a multiway pot) Fold or shove on raise.

They have you ride the luck on the suited connecters and suited ace low card. a small blind to see if you get four. bet the four a third of the time. two cards left. Nine cards can hit. A fourth the same suit. Listen to pros. They take you out of that bet eventually. But ride the luck as long as you can.

Me too... don't get it at all???:confused: :confused:

For me I feel these hands play much better multi-way, but I don't like entering a pot with a limp. I will do my standard open with these and play them as I would any other open hand. doing this is mostly done from a later position and I usually only call from the button or if closing the action in the BB. I do sometimes play a hand like this for a raise from UTG then it is easy to fold to a 3 bet.

In early stages of mtts i always limp with suited connectors. I think you have enough chances to get a really good pot or just fold it on flop. The same play is with small pocket pairs.

Suited connectors are fine to play at beginning of the tournement easy to fold preflop at 3bet of your opponent, good chances to raise your chips..

Yeah I dont mind calling a raise IP from time to time early to mid tournament. If your opponent playes straight forward you don't always need to get a piece of the board to win the hand and they have very good implied odds. And raise them when fisrt in from mid to late position. (Depends on the types of players who are after you)

I don't think it is a good strategy i think you will loose this way more then you will win.
I am opening with that it dosnt make sense to limp and fold if you got raised.
Its is better to raise pretending having a big hand and Cbet after the flop if you get the chance.

I love suited connectors. It is all situational how you play them though. how many blinds you have, how many opponents have, blind levels, strength and play of opponents. If I have a weak table, I don't care what the levels are I will play them hard, vs good opponents I play them too, but bets depend on their aggression. The main thing to remember with suited connectors (e.g. 7H8H) is that when you hit a flush, their could easily be a higher one out there. Don't fall too much in love, but play them more like a KQ or AJ rather than the lower cards they may be. (just personal opinion obv)

As long as I can see a flop for a reasonable price , I'm calling with suited connectors at any stage in the tourny.

For me i don't play that hands, unless its a multiway hand and i have suited conectors.. Normally i play T9, 89, especially if i'm in the position, example button.... But if somebody open I probably fold it depends the info of that player...
Be carefull guys, a lot of peoople one the initial phase of tournaments, sit and gos, play a lot of big bliinds, in long time we loose a lot o chips, so in the initial phase only play hands for value.... We don't want to loose with two pairs like 5 and 6 and then he loose for a better two pairs, straight, set's.... A good option is always play tigh-agressive, and sometimes play looose but don't abuse, this don'te guarantee the sucess but will help :D
Good flops everybody!!!!!!

I personally try to avoid them at all costs. Flops can be too tempting and cost you alot of chips over time. You might lose a few times to them, but save your chips. Youll only get burned so many times before you auto fold when you see them
