I consider suited connectors a drawing hand, so I really only play them in late position where I am late to act. It's much harder to play them profitably in early position.

I am ryinmg to raise them more preflop nowadays , cause I see some opportunities to win chips , also some flips can favor the suited connectors , good to bust smaller stacks who shove to your initial bet with a suited connector , I want tolearn to play them more and better :)

Usually play 9/10, 10/J, j/Q in late position...never play 4/5 or 2/3, and rarely play 9/10 or J/Q in early position...would play them more often in cash game than in tournament.

I play infrequently, unless the same suits are high cards: 10-J, J-Q, Q-K and A-K. If I have a lot more chips than my opponents, I play more often, including low value cards with the same suits.

For me, suited connectors can be played from any position, depending on which cards and the action before you, and the expected action of the players behind. In general, in early position, I will raise with some of the bigger cards, limp with medium cards, and fold the low end cards.
As more players have acted before me, I get a better idea of whether or not I should give my cards a shot at the flop.
We all have our strategies. Good luck with yours.

I only play sutied connectors in middle and late position and only when nobody has raised in front of me unless someone does a minraise in front of me. Then I would call because I treat minraise like limping. If I have called with suited connectors then I hope to hit a flush draw, open ended straight draw, two pairs or combo draws. If I flopped a strong draw I always play it passively with more than 2 opponents. Because with 8-11 outs you are not the favorite. With a raise you only have a positive expected value if there is also a chance that all opponents will fold. With more than 2 opponents this is unlikely. If you have a monster draw (more than 12 outs) then I play the draw aggressively. Because you have a positive expected value solely because of the outs. If I'm in late position and nobody has raised in front of me, then I raise preflop with suited connectors. It is a good idea to continue playing aggressively on the flop when you have a draw. With suited connectors you often hit draws on the flop but not finished hands. If you see a chance that all opponents will fold when you raise, then raise. if I didn't hit a draw with suited connectors, I usually fold. Unless I raised preflop, I often c-bet even though I didn't hit a draw. But here, too, I keep an eye on the flop and the number of opponents. I only c-bet when there is a chance that all of my opponents will fold. Anything else would be wasted money.

It depends on my position, stack and my analysis of the other players. But, I usually don't play hands like 6/5 7/8 9/10 J / 10 8/10 and J / 9.

It all depends on the stage of the tournament and the size of the stack, in general, I play 30 percent

suit conectors

I love to play, out of position.
when an opportunity appears, aybe once every 15 times.
in case the bets increase a lot in the first round, i give up (fold).
if I hit something on the flop I call one bet continuation.
my favorite hand is T9s
