Default Re: SNG advice :; chasing draws in sngs.

IF you do flop top pair with this sort of hand, would you bet into a few players to atleast see whee you are, or do you believe this is a waste of chips since if you get played back at you are pretty much folding, and the amount of times you get played back at when betting top pair with a suited connector doesn't justify the amount of times you win a small pot with it only, and therefore ONLY play these hands for straights/flushes.

This is the problem with playing suited connectors. You flop a pair or a draw far more often than you'll flop a flush or straight. Then you don't want to give it up. Let's say you limp 98s, and the board is 942. You bet out with top pair, and three people call. One of them has Q9, one has a deuce, and the other one has a ragged ace. Now what are you going to do on the turn? The Q9 will never raise, he'll just bleed you all the way to the river, where the donk with the ace will hit and scoop the pot.
