[Closed] How not to play suited connectors

Hey rhinoneil,

as you already figured a preflop raise is standard here. You have position and a very weak play from the CO who only limps in, which is in 99% of the cases weakness. A raise preflop will isolate him and you can play the hand with initiative in position. On the flop you have a similar situation. You can't hit a better draw than the open ender + flush draw and over cards. This is a very easy raise on the flop and happily stick all my money in on the flop.

Just some equliation:

102,960 games 0.109 secs 944,587 games/sec

Board: 5s 2h 6s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 41.379% 38.52% 02.86% 39657 2946.50 { 99-22, A6s, KsQs, K6s, QsJs, JsTs, Ts9s, 87s, 76s, 65s, 43s, A6o, K6o, 87o, 76o, 65o, 43o }
Hand 1: 58.621% 55.76% 02.86% 57410 2946.50 { 8s7s }

In this case I gave him a ridiculous tight range and you even against this range you are favourite.
Furthermore you have fold equity, your opponent will very often just lay down his hand.
