Re: Correct flush draw play with suited connectors?
I'd fold preflop. Since absolutely nobody has voluntarily entered the pot you're getting only 3:1 which is quite bad with a drawing hand.
And since you cannot really count the CO as "being in the pot" I'd handle this like a blind steal, which means either raise or fold, since 78s has no high card value I'd fold. After you entered the pot and flopped your FD you played the hand well. |

I'd raise preflop. [/ QUOTE ] rest of the hand is fine as played. this is indeed like a blind steal. take the initiative and if you miss you still have a good shot at buying it on the flop. |

If your opponents aren't weak-tight pussies it's not that easy to take down the pot with 9 high if you miss. If you don't really know what you're doing trying to steal with SCs will do more harm than good. |

Preflop is a close call, you have got position but no limpers. You want about 2-3(?) limpers for a drawing hand like this.
I like the rest. |

Re: Correct flush draw play with suited connectors?
Just to clarify, when you're on the button and nobody else has entered the pot save for a poster (who checked), you should be raising any hand you intend to play. Factoring in that you would be contributing 1 SB anyway (to limp), you are risking 1 SB preflop to win 2.5--if the blinds & poster all fold even 1 time out of 3, you come out ahead by raising. More like 1 in 5 when considering all the times you win by making your hand or continuation betting the flop.

Re: Correct flush draw play with suited connectors?

postflop is all pretty standard |
