Suited Connectors
I just dont get why lots of good players rate them so much.
I have been playing poker just under two years, in that time I have made over 10k so i am no donk, but I have never got why these hands are so good. Could someone enlighten me, heres my view on them.
(I am a cash player usually 50 or 100NL)
From what i can see you play these to either flop a draw or hit 2 pair/trips
Problems with hitting two pair:
1)If the board pairs it counterfits your hand or against top pair opp could quite easily hit his other card and again your screwed ,
2)Possible straights are there as you have connecting cards so you dont get paid by top pair as opp scared of straight or worse opp has straight.
Either way you win a small pot off top pair or lose a big pot to the straight.
Problems with hitting trips:
Trips are obvious even to fish so usually you will not get paid by top pair, So again you win small pot or lose a big one to opp with trips better good kicker or House.
Problem with flopping a draw:
So you have flopped a draw, you have exactly nothing. Most of the time you will not get odds to call, so you decide semi bluff, so your now commiting a decent amount of chips when your not the favourite usually 2 to 1 against. Not profitable.
So if you are lucky enough to hit your draw by getting priced in somehow, a flush doesnt get paid as like trips these are obvious even to fishes. So you hit a straight not as obvious, problem is there always seems to be a poss flush or board has paired, so you opp with 1 pair or hopefully two will not pay you as scared of possible hands out there , again you win a small pot or lose a big one.
Thanks for reading please let me know your thoughts
