suited connectors, becoming slightly looser early

[johnnyknish]

i know the general stratgey of tight early aggressive late. limping pocket pairs under JJ usually and raisind AK AA KK and QQ sometimes AQ. but i feel like that i could be losing value if i miss limping in CO or hijick or button with a hand like J10 suited, 9 10s or KQ suited. especially when the blinds are 10/20 or 15/30. i know that if you play these hands the wrong way you can get burend. but i think if you have the sense to play them th right way you could earn alot of chips...flame away

You can certainly play good suited connectors like KQs and JTs in position as long as you don't stack off w/ TP.

Who said limping suited connectors in position after limpers was bad?

If you're a mediocre player then there is no reason to add hands that just get you in trouble. The general strategy is good enough to get you to the late game with a decent stack to push/fold with.

It'd be much more beneficial to spend time getting ICM down than trying to figure out where you are in the hand with a SC.

I don't know that he said after limpers anywhere in his OP, but I don't think you make enough if you are open limping from LP with these hands.

Edit: With limpers, in position I'd call in level 1 or 2 as well. You just have to know you're not trying to make TP with a hand like that, and be able to fold when you do.

splash the general consesus ive read on here is don't do it because its to spewy. but i agree with you i don't see why it would be if your confident with your post flop play

your right i didnt i meant to lol but i am talking about when there is a limper or two in front of me. like you said other wise there is not enough value.

Clearly, OPEN limping should be avoided. But this forum has changed a lot from a year ago if people hate on limping SCs after other limpers.

Right, I was just trying to answer to his specific question. I should've added a little more than I did since it was likely he was referring to when there are already limpers in the pot.

But I still think if you can't fold JT on a J or T high board facing aggression, then you should just avoid these hands.

o i agree i was talking about flopping two pair or a huge draw i understand that these hand can get you into alot of trouble when you play them like an idiot.
