The Myth of Suited Connectors

[chaz64]

That's a good point. I think PokerStove takes into account the lowered chances of being up against AA if you hold Ax, so if he used that it should be reflected in his results.

I had just finished KP and played around with Stove to see what I would come up with, and I concluded the same thing - suited connectors won't do as well against looser players. But I think they can still be pushed when you are really short stacked, or have just one or two opponents to get through. And while calling ranges may loosen later in a tourney, players sometimes seem to tighten up on or near the bubble for fear of finishing out of the money.

Also, hate to nit pick, but "Blair and Rodman" should be "Rodman and Nelson."
