no limit hold em and drawing hands

[spurgeon]

T.J. Cloutier in his book on no limit hold em tourneys says that you want to stay away from drawing hands. Tom Mcevoy says the same thing. Doyle Brunson in his book says that the hand he is looking for are small suited connectors. Well, which is it? Is Brunson right or wrong about wanting to play suited connectors?

One of the most important differences between tournament play and NL ring games is that the stacks are usually much deeper in ring games. You would prefer to have deep enough stacks that you have beneficial implied odds, that you can still bet or raise after you make your hand.

To be happiest when you call a raise with a low pocket pair, you would prefer to put in no more than 5% of the size of the smaller stack, so you would prefer that the players have at least 75 times the big blind. I believe you would prefer even deeper stacks when you have a low suited connector. In the first level of a tournament, you might have that much, but you might spend most of the tournament with fewer than 20 times the big blind.

Most online NL ring games have a maximum buy-in of 50 or 100 big blinds. In Brunson's Super System, he was talking about games with even deeper stacks.
