[2NL] Suited Connectors ( Really Stuck )

[surviva316]

Preflop is a really loose call against someone who has an insanely strong range and who is giving you a really bad price.

Low SCs are considered to have a lot of "playability" in position because they flop a lot of draws and like quadruple backdoors that allow you to float flops and see a lot of turns that you love and all of that stuff. In other words, it gives you a lot of opportunities to semi-bluff. In other words, fold equity is a very important aspect of playing these hands.

So when villain has the top 4% of hands in the world, it's going to be very tough to turn a profit with 54s getting less than 20:1 on our implied odds. We're just not going to flop 632 or 955 or XXXhhh boards all that much; it's much more often gonna be like A93r with a single heart.

Thanks Surviva, that is exactly what I was looking for.
