TJ Suited/Off Suit
Hate this hand in middle position when it is folded to me, on an 'average/quasi tight' table do you:
- Open Raise as a semi steal for MP2 or MP3 - Fold - Open Limp I don't love any of these options, as this hand plays best in a large field (especially suited) and you are pretty much guaranteed a small field with 3-4 folds in front of you, open raising seems to be working best based on my PT stats....would love to hear how everyone is playing this. Thanks |

Re: TJ Suited/Off Suit
I wouldn't play it in MP, especially not while being the first one in.

Re: TJ Suited/Off Suit
Suited = open raise
off suit = fold |

Re: TJ Suited/Off Suit
JTs is a much better hand than JTo.

Why? You only make a flush around 4% of the time. I think folks are WAY too in love with suited cards. |

Re: TJ Suited/Off Suit
Suited cards give you more options post flop and allow you to play you hand much faster at times. This helps in picking up pots.

[/ QUOTE ] You make a flush 7% of the time, and when you have even a flush draw, you can often pump that for value, or make cheap semi-bluffs. While you chase a flush, you often win with a pair, two pair, trips, or a back-door straight. According to PokerRoom's stats, JTo loses from every every position at some limit in full games. At $1/$2, it only wins from the button, 0.02 BB/hand, and breaks even from MP3. At $1-$2, JTs wins from every position except UTG, including the blinds! JTs wins 0.25 BB/hand on the button. Overall, JTs wins 0.15 BB/hand. Many fish overvalue suited garbage, but suitedness adds a lot of value to a hand that is otherwise decent. |
