How often do you play suited connectors?

[donpiatnik]

If you can watch a flop with them cheaply then you can take advantage of it

 

[natelearnspoker]

I play them a lot and bluff 3 bet with them. I probably overvalue them.

 

[Markjduk]

Love em! Such a powerful weapon. When position allows I play them.

 

[martinf1971]

What is the most powerful suited connector most people will say oh AK no no no, I would say JT is the best suited connector in the deck. You can only go down cards with AK so QJT while JT you can have AKQ, KQ9 , Q98 or 987 so thats why I think JT suited is the best suited connector. I always play suited connectors in or out of position as long as I paying no more than 3BB

 

[Raphael Zabel]

I usually play when there was not much aggression preflop and if I hit the flop, depending on the odds, I keep it because when you connect it usually win hands from opponents that were better preflop.

 

[martinlgs]

I always like to play two connecting cards, more if they are continuous, and there are not some between them

 

[Hemified]

I play em all the time and probably shouldn't but dont care. It depends on how many people might be in the hand helps me deside if ill call or not. I like lower cards too because most only play bigger hands and dont expect you to call with low hands. Good luck.

I love playing multiway pots with suited connectors, or when i have the position ofc

 

[polar1ze]

I can fold aces MUCH easier than I can fold sooted connecs

 

[Rabberto71]

It depends on the game situation, if I’m low stacked and players on the table have been fairly tight then it’s worth trying them but otherwise I only tend to play them if I can get a free/cheap look at the flop, you can lose a lot of chips quite quickly if you keep playing suited connectors unless you get lucky and keep hitting on the flop

 

[Pokerpoet2]

Depends on Position and chip-stack, and whether anyone has raised pre-flop, it also depends on which suited connectors? I would play a 7/8 of Hearts for example, but rarely play a 6/7 or less, only because when you are playing lower connectors you are usually drawing to the "dummy" end of a straight.
Also many times when you flop a flush, you need to be careful not to run into a bigger flush, I play K/10 suited quite a lot and hitting a flush on the flop will always play well until a 4th card hits and then you are losing to a bare Ace.
Remember "Fools rush in where Heroes fear to tread" I have often had to fold a King high flush knowing that the person who shoves all-in is holding the Ace on a 4 card flush board.
Sure I call if the person has a smaller stack and could be bluffing, but as I stated at the start, it all depends on Position and Stack-size?

When the fun Stops, STOP!

The main problem with conectors is that it is not a ready hand .Trying to play the connectors aggressively, many people overestimate their strength in hold'em, in Omaha the situation with the connectors ,I think, is somewhat different

 

[Badday94]

Recently made the switch from tournaments to cash. Have made some greats plays and had some great losses. So far after 30k hands I'm breaking even playing .10/.25 cash.

How often are you playing 65 7/8 9/10 J/10 8/10 J/9? I have been 3 betting oppenents with these hands early and late position preflop to keep them guessing. Not all the time but often.


Any advice? Thankyou!!!

After watching a lot of Daniel Negreanu and seeing how he loves playing connectors, I started doing it more too. But only if my stack is big enough to allow me some risk taking. Otherwise not so much, but I still try if I get a gut feeling depending on the table dynamics. 9 10 is one of my favourite hands to get

 

[AjR3ckless]

I only play with some connectors only feel lucky with like 78 89 10J couple times I might chance a 23 34 but not on the reg

 

[azgeda]

I do like playing suited connectors! I can’t say I play them often, depends on my position mostly.

 

[Adi8877]

Probably more often than I should, especially the 78, 89, what the opponents most of the time can put in my range. the 910 is a massive looser for me, so I try to play with that less.
Still the 78,89 are my favorite, however sometimes, if it is a multipot the 45,56 can triple my stack really easy.. Especially, works often very good, if no pairs out there, then mostly, enough a pair, as often the opponents block each others' outs... Anyway, that is the point what makes me loose with them, too, if I do not put anybody to monster pair in hand, and I flop a set or 2 pairs with them, meantime, I max have 1 out, as they have fullh or set...

 

[riff_raff312]

Suited cards !!!!! and now suited connectors DAMN!!!!!!! I have a hard time throwing suited cards away i would have to say i would play them 75% of the time and suited connecting cards some where around 90% of the time even though i know that hitting the flush is only like 12% and a str8 flush well is less than 8% i would guess! Now everyone will know my weakness

[Riccoboni]

I play MTT, so I prefer suited connectors in the first blinds or above 100BB. However, if I played cash I would play with them in any position.

 

[korbal29]

I play them almost all the time, from any position, even facing one raise. Actually, you make more money in the long run than with big pairs

 

[polar1ze]

Everytime.

 

[makisaa]

Suited connectors are very interesting and I play them often. I play them when I think that they will work, according to my study of the game!

 

[Hemified]

Every day probably at least every other hand. I like suited low cards the best because there good to play and i usely play every hand. I play alot more hands than i shud but its called gambling. Good luck.

 

[noskilluk]

I definitely like suited cards in general so suited connectors is a pretty safe bet to play, but try not to go crazy pre-flop

 

[63burner]

Always play the suited connectors.

Pocket pairs are enticing, but suited connectors, I play them, but not stupidly. Much more faith in AK, QK than J10, Q10, J9, and J7, or J8 for example.
Suited consecutive connectors, odds are better, but I seem to have better luck with the two hole connectors.

 

[jcxmendes]

I play quite often especially when I'm in position and especially when I have villain information!
