What value do connected suiter have at pokerstars.com
Category: Poker
In terms of suited connectors, they always have potential and you can sometimes find yourself making a big hand with them, but I can’t say that this is really good reason to play them often at pokerstars.com.
The usual situation will be that you are behind going into the flop and that is never the most favourable position to be in. There have been occasions in the past however when I have been short stacked and moved all in at www.pokerstars.com with these type of hands, and obviously I don’t want a call but there is one extra strength to the hand that is often overlooked.
The fact is if I move all in with a hand like (A,7) or (K,10) I am likely to be only called by someone with a bigger Ace or King, and be in trouble.
With suited connectors I am far more likely to have two poker live cards as well as my straight and flush possibilities, which isn’t exactly a terrible position to be in. Be that as it may, I wouldn’t ever be hoping for a call with suited connectors.
In terms of taking a flop cheaply with, suited connectors are a great hand in my view. This is partly due to the big hand potential, but more importantly, if you make a hand like top two pair when the cards come out low, or even a straight in that instace it is very well disguised. Your opponent will never have expected you to go into a online poker pot with something like (7,8).
So overall I would say that suited connectors do have some lesser known advantages, and I like to take flops with them if it doesn’t cost me much. But the fact remains, you are almost always going to be in the pot as an underdog preflop, so do not get too excited about this type of hand.
