Default Re: Calling raises with suited connectors...theory question

Always reraising with SC's is giving up alot of money. Certain villains just can't play well OOP at all, and SCs are a great way to exploit them. Particularly those that:

1. Will cbet most any flop, and give up on the turn if they don't have it.

2. Will cbet most any flop and then cbet about 60% of turns as well.

Betting the turn against the first and raising against the second is such easy money, and with an expectation way more than their 4BB preflop. This is all in lieu of SC's ability to also make real hands and get paid off.

I'd much rather take the 3-bet/fold attitude if you are OOP, when it becomes much much more difficult to play them well postflop - and alot of their value is just in widening your range.
