Suited Connector Theory

[pjr54]

I just don't seem to have good luck with them. I will play them but with me it all depends on the situation at the table. I won't play them if I am short stacked at a table.

I love playing suited connectors, especially if it's heads up preflop. They are great cards to trap people with. 89 especially, I think I have seen that hand crack more bog hands than any other.

Oh, you suited connectors! You're so gosh darn cute, I can't resist playing you! Then when we make straights and flushes, I think we'll be best friends forever!

Suited connectors are some of the best hands to have a look at with three or more people are trying to see the flop. Ask me why and I will give you a long drawn out reason. but here is the short of it.

1st off, expect paint cards in the other hands

2nd, number cards have a ratio of 2-1 over paint and are more likely to hit

3rd, expect a flop that is favorable for you and be able to steal.

4th, as long as the price is right, you have given yourself a chance to fold without being hurt to bad.

With that good luck, and may we never meet at the same table.
