SB preflop refresher

[brick]

2-chip 4-chip blind structure.

Bad player raises from MP. He tends to raise mostly big cards. Although he doesn't play very good post flop.

Button calls. He is LAG and stuck.

We are in the SB. The BB is loose PF but plays good after the flop.

What's the smallest suited connector I should play?
Smallest suited 1 gapper?
Smallest Ax suited?

Play big and little ones, avoid the middle. AKs and KQs are okay. Avoid QJs through 98s. Pick back up with 87s down to 54s.

The middle group will cost you money. These are the dominated hands. You'll make pairs with low kicker and low end of the straight so often it will eat up the profits from your wins. Nobody will agree with this so you'll have to run your own sims to confirm.

Also, 87s is very marginal, often hitting the low end of broadway straights. You pay off big when this happens. 65s gains strength because it collects extra from ace holders when wheel cards come in.

Yeah, that's why you shouldn't play 87s, because sometimes you make a straight and somebody makes a higher straight.
