[Closed] suited connectors

Hey rhinoneil,

I don't like the preflop call. You just invest too much money with a hand that has to hit really big. As played a raise on the flop is mandatory due to the great equity you have there. Calling flop and raising turn is not a good move.

Hi Tribun
I agree with your analysis here, raise on the flop was correct move.

I don't get your turn all-in... its like a gambler move in my opinion and your odds for hitting the flush on the river aren't good.

Dragar, it is a pretty marginal move, you're right but I will tell you my thinking behind it.
I put this guy on a big pair. If he has AA or KK I have 17 outs with the flush and open ended straight draw.
If he has JJ or QQ my all in raise when the K shows up really ought to be enough to get him to lay it down.
As I said, I prefer to play these type of hands aggressively and if I am calling a reraise with suited connectors, I am not going to give it up once I hit the flop so big. I couldnt have hoped for a much better flop so I think if you choose to play these type of hands at all, you have to be prepared to put your money where your mouth is and gamble.
I totally understand the comments and the argument here I think is not the all in. Either I fold pre-flop or I carry it through. I agree that I should have raised on the flop, not on the turn.
Incidentally, had I simply called the turn, what do you think the chances are of me getting any more money out of this guy once the river comes?

I raise flop too for value, somthing like $23. if he has AK he folds, if he has a high PP we got a better equity and he might fold turn.

if you call flop and a diamond comes you might not get his whole stack.
