Re: Stupid Play?
This sort of play just isn't worth it at a $25 Party table. 95% of the people there are playing only their own cards and are totally oblivious to anything anybody else is doing so raising a small suited connector will not gain you any advertising value. People will also happily throw all their chips in with top pair no kicker on a scary board (as in this case) or even with nothing but a non-nut flush draw. Use this to your advantage! When you hit a hand, you WILL be paid off, possibly in 2 or 3 places. There's just no reason to try anything tricky at these tables. Do this at a $5-$10 game and maybe the other guy will lay down but this sort of play is -EV in limits this low.
