Re: Playing Ax Suited at a LAG Live 3/6 Table...
Kit's reply was spot.
Hey Coach, a lot of players here(me included) have had 25 to 100+++BB swings so it might seem like a lot for 3 hours but it really isn't that much. Just hang in there
With the smaller suited connectors it is normally good to try and get in cheaply if you can. If your your small-medium suited connectors miss the flop as far as any str8 or flush goes, they have a tough time holding up when you pair just one of your 2 cards. Then you may become tied to the pot with a marg holding. When you have a strong higher suited connector like say QKs and you pair one of your cards it becomes a much stronger hand when you miss your flush and str8 draws. I do know of some players who will cold call 3 bets with a hand like 34s at a wild table but I don't care for this at all. As far as pairs go, still try and get in as cheap as possible with small-med pairs & suited Aces OOP if you can. Just make sure your post flop play is as solid as it can be because you will be bailing on a lot of flops when you don't hit your set, str8 or flush draws. It takes some adjusting to a game like this for sure, but if you continue to fold everything you will get blinded off and miss some good opps to make big hands and take down some monster pots. It doesn't take too many huge pots at this game to book a rather nice win.
I love to play Suited Ace hands in a game like this but I feel that I am pretty good post flop and I am looking to flush up and I can bail on the flop if I need to. To me it is worth a few extra bets to play suited Ace hands, pairs etc. cause in a 3 hour session how many suited aces, pairs and high suited connectors do we typically see? For the times we miss on the flop vs. the few pots we win that are ginormeeeous it can more than make up for the extra bets here and there. Just my style. Some will disagree completely I'm sure though. Just don't get flip about the game and start playing every hand & cold calling everything. Pace yourself into it. It can be a lot of fun.
Oh and keep track of who is raisng 3 betting with what cards.
