Unsuited Connectors

[Frond]

Kind of a check up for us all I guess. Just wondering about unsuited connectors, specifically 9To and TJo in the CO and on the button. Just these two hands.

Here is the scenario: You are in a live 4/8 game with lots of limpers and not much PF raising going on. The players to your left never raise Pre Flop. You are in the CO or the Button with either of these 2 hands and almost everyone limps in. Who plays em and who dumps em? Do some of you play these 2 hands in the CO or the Button, just the button or not at all? Remember every hand where you have one of these two holdings is in LP & it is going to be limped to you with 7-9 seeing the flop with no PF raises at all.

Just curious to see where everyone stands on these 2 hands.

If it's a limpfest and the table is allowing me to limp JTo and T9o in LP then I'm limping them all day long.

both easy limps

edit: assuming you play alright postflop. i have confidence in you, frond, so i think you can play both of these.

I'll limp the JT all day from either but with the T9 I'll only do it on the button.

[peetar69]

about 1/2 the time if I'm not way up front,and only if they are almost suited (ie. spade and a club).
As far as position, in real passive games, position doesn't seem to have the degree of importance as it does in online games.So I'm limping 1/2 the time if I'm in the back 1/2 of the field just as long as there isnt a guy who plays well and has the ability to raise withe a decent range behind me.

[DeuceKicker]

In the conditions you describe, I'd limp those, and with quite a few more SCs, to boot. Under more realistic conditions (Btn or blinds occasionally raise, and not quite as many limpers every hand), I usually dump T9 and limp JT on the button, maybe in CO under specific circumstances.

Call every time - but I play a lot of hands

After everyone limps I would much rather have a hand like T9o rather than KTo or something. Hands like T9o get you in waaaay less trouble than KTo, KJo, QJ, etc...explain later...

[fishyak]

JTo - no problem. Play it again, Sam. I play T9o inconsistently from the Button only.

[mikeca]

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.

Under the circumstances you describe, I'd limp just about everything that wasn't worth raising. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
