What about a J32 flop? Again, its easy with 65s. I bet the flop and win 75% of the time when he folds. I give up the rest of the time unless I hit the gutshot. With AA, these hands are much tougher against good players. Basically the suited connectors are like small pairs....you win a small pot, lose a small pot, or win a big one. You almost never lose a big pot.
When you get to 2/4 and higher, you will not be getting paid off handsomely with big pairs like you do at low stakes. You cant bet all 3 streets with AA on a J85 flop and expect to have the winner very often. I think that is the one single factor that results in lower win rates at higher stakes. So to make up for that, you need to be able to make money on other hands like suited connectorsStatistics: Posted by iceman5 — Sun Oct 01, 2006 10:14 am
