Why is raising UTG with suited connectors so standard at 6-max?
[ QUOTE ]
"Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Hero raises to ..." [/ QUOTE ] Recently, I'm seeing this kind of mid-sized suited connector raise from UTG in 6-max a lot more than I remember seeing a year ago. Can somebody explain why raising UTG with suited connectors at 6-max is standard? I thought that once in a while this kind of thing was OK to "mix it up" so you aren't so predictable, but this now seems to be completely standard. Folding UTG with suited connectors seems to have gone out of fashion. Why is raising with these marginal drawing hands out of position the new standard?

It's not. I think it's only profitable for nits who don't get action otherwise. [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously don't raise UTG with 78s! You should be raising hands like ATo and KJo from there...
Suited connectors for most are not profitable raised OOP, because quite frankly most people do not know how to play OOP. Anyone not raising small SC's and PP's from UTG in deep stacked SH'd cash games are quite frankly boobs for not figuring out how to take creative lines with them OOP in HU and multi-way pots.

Mason you seem like a somewhat intelligent kid so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your hastey and ill-contrived conclusion of what I said was simply a product of your playing 6 tables and not being able to actually read my entire message, for if not, then you are going to have one [censored] of a time trying to move up in stakes if you can't intuitively smell out [censored] as blatant as my opening sentence was... With that said, different tables/conditions/opponents make some whole cards more valuable than others. Starting card values are relative, not absolute. There are some tables where you are probably wise to be raising gapped offsuit broadway junk UTG and others where 45s is more intrinsicaly valuable than JJ...
