Helpful.

OP, getting 9:1 and closing the action preflop, playing 92s is fine.

I would call preflop, and fold on the flop just like you did.

this is totally results oriented. As played is fine.

He's not being results-oriented. He's asking about preflop, where he called. He knows the flop fold is correct.

This is a really easy decision. The only reason he's posting this is because he went runner runner. Otherwise, why would it be here?

Irirregardless, the preflop question is still valid.

So, are we playing any suited cards in the BB to a raise getting 9:1? I think I'd have to play a lot better than I do postflop in order for this to work for me, so I'm folding this here. Too tight?

FWIW, I believe (although I could be wrong) that SSHE recommends playing anything that we'd play for one bet in late position.

[Edit: Fixed my double negative.]

The word is "regardless". - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless

I'm with you GG - this looks like an easy fold preflop. Sorry, but 92 is garbage suited or unsuited. 96s is a yes, 95s is a no and that's where I draw the line. The problem with the hand is that we will very rarely win when we don't hit a flush and that doesn't happen often enough to be worth the call preflop.
