Calling with Suited Connectors
 

Better to do so vs Tight players? or Loose players?

What are your reasons for your choice?

I don't look at their vpip when i decide whether to limp behind a limper or two with sooted connectors, I look more at their flop aggression and their went to showdown %. If people are showing down too much and their aggro factor is high, I know they are going to pay me off more often when i hit and are easier to trap because they bet a lot.

Too vague of a question... tight/passive post flop? Loose agg? Loose passive?

I think position and bet sizes are way more important than the type of opponent... though ideally you want to play against loose/passive, ie someone who will stack off w/top pair/overpairs even on scary boards but who will give you free cards...

Really too vague though.

This question seems a little vague, but ...

I think it's usually better against tight players. You want them to have a range that doesn't overlap with yours, and gets stuck when you hit.

Ok, Edit.

What type of opponent traits do you look for when deciding to call with suited connectors.

Opponents that go too far with overpairs/top pair. Passive players that will give you free cards but will also pay you off...

Really though suited connecters are good hands against most opponents.

I think there are two issues that are important: player type and position.

I would much rather to call SC against a tight player than a loose one. A loose player may has a SC or low PP and is not going to have a big enough hand most of the time for you to get paid.

A tight player is more likely to have an overpair or TPTK that will pay off.


I think position is just as important, if not more so, than the type of player. Drawing OOP sucks. If you are IP against a loose player, he will probably miss a lot when he CB's and you can raise his CB. Consider 3b PF sometimes if you are OTB and the loose player opens in CO.

A tight player will probably shut down on the turn and give you a free turn/river card.
