Unsuited Connectors

[celiholic]

auto limp, i'll play anything suited in the table you describe, even k2s utg. especially otb, like basiclly almost everything like 24-34 off. however, it depends how good the ppl play post-flop, the better they are, the tighter i am going to play. so it depends how good you are compare to other people, the skill gap is greater, the more hands you can play

These are bad hands in very loose games, but you have good odds and good position. As long as the game is very passive, I will play them.

I don't think you're giving up anything by dumping them though. I think I'd rather play 52s than T9o in a very loose game.

I honestly can't tell you how much money I've won limping 97o... it's like a flop-hitting magnet for me.

Under the circumstances you describe, I would limp both these hands. In the real world I can never remember limping T9o from the button or CO. I will usually limp JT from the button or CO.

In a limpfest with little chance of a raise occuring behind me, I'd play both of these hands in Button and CO. I believe SSHE recommends this in the loose game chart.

this doesnt constitute a good reason for playing this hand.

Are we mastering the obvious today? I guess you didn't catch the half-serious nature of my post.

But.. At a table full of limpers... it's all the reason I need. Okay, 97o is -0.11EV PF, but since I'm going to play better after the flop than anyone else at the table I come out just fine. It's the worst nonsuited connector I'll play if not in the blinds. And, like I said, it's uncanny how many times I have raked huge pots with it.

Per pg. 81 of our Bible, SSHE, yes to JTo, from the Button or CO. No to T9o. T9 would needed to be suited to be "standard."

I need to revisit the Bible more often for brushing up on stuff. That should be a November goal.

Like dental checkups, review SSHE twice a year, standard. Quarterly, if you suffer from halfheimer's or CRS.
