Preflop: I fold. Not many people in and raise was from UTG.

Flop: good

Turn: checkraise

Re: Suited connector in SB vs. raise
 

I agree with Niediam, except I'd donk the turn, I'd hate this getting checked through, and noone has shown much indication so far (an autobet and a peel) that they're gonna bet the turn.

Re: Suited connector in SB vs. raise
 

I don't usually play low and mid suited connectors if raised ahead of me so I would fold preflop. I don't think they win often enough to play them. I'll lead the turn because with the coordinated board it may get checked around.

Re: Suited connector in SB vs. raise
 

I'm not calling a raise with this preflop.
Flop call is ok at 9:1
I like bet/call the turn. I would hate to see it check through.

I agree. Yours is a made hand that will not improve. Donking out prevents the unfortunate 3 bet by UTG as well. We need evidence that UTG is going to bet the turn before hoping for the check-raise. Like a read that shows him as overly aggressive or a non-scary board that doesn't worry him. That board is scary now so he may well take the freebie and flush you down the river.

I also would have folded pre-flop.

Pre-Flop: fold

I think betting the flop would have been good. It would test the UTG plus show some strength.

But, since it was a check, is 9:1 pot odds good enough for a call? You have 3 to 4 outs depending on what the others have suit-wise.

Turn: bet

Re: Suited connector in SB vs. raise
 

yeah in the sb this hand is too weak pf. i think we need to lay it down and hope for a better spot

despite that i agree with sharpie. although i am not usually an advocate of donkin i think this is a perfect spot. a c/r would be a lot more dependant on the read of the opponent if we know he will bet again or not

I would fold preflop. If I called preflop I would check/call the flop. Once I hit the straight I would check/raise.
