Calling with Suited Connectors

Ok, Edit.

What type of opponent traits do you look for when deciding to call with suited connectors.

Opponents that go too far with overpairs/top pair. Passive players that will give you free cards but will also pay you off...

Really though suited connecters are good hands against most opponents.

I think there are two issues that are important: player type and position.

I would much rather to call SC against a tight player than a loose one. A loose player may has a SC or low PP and is not going to have a big enough hand most of the time for you to get paid.

A tight player is more likely to have an overpair or TPTK that will pay off.


I think position is just as important, if not more so, than the type of player. Drawing OOP sucks. If you are IP against a loose player, he will probably miss a lot when he CB's and you can raise his CB. Consider 3b PF sometimes if you are OTB and the loose player opens in CO.

A tight player will probably shut down on the turn and give you a free turn/river card.
