Default Do you play 3 high connectors and a dangler?

I think I play these kinds of hands too much in full ring games. Will even call a moderate raise more often than not.

etc.

I will if 1)I'm in LP and 2) if the sidecard has some use for instance K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I will in MP if it's 3 danglers and a suited ace(A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]), I ditch the suited kings in MP.

I rarely play anything in EP.

I tend to only play those types of hands from the blinds. In late position, I may limp with similar hands were an A is suited, but otherwise the dangler is pretty much a complete waste.

The only time that dangler is going to come into play with a hand like Ks-Js-10h-6d is when the flop comes down 6-6-x. Even here your not in that great of a spot as someone could have the overfull and have you drawing thin to dead.

At least if the dangler gives is suited, it could help get you into a freeroll type situation.

So, in general, I tend to throw away the vast majority of these hands.

I would play the first hand from all streets. The second hand is total trash.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just playing $25 tables now and see so many who will chase terribly and it seemed that I should consider opening up how many flops I see (I'm at ~20%) since implied odds seem good. I'll be more selective with this type of holding from here on, though.

I think the 1st hand has a lot more value than the 2nd.

Depending on the game texture I would play the first hand from middle position on if there was little aggression preflop and would call a small raise multiway in position.

I might see the flop from CO/button in an unraised multiway pot with the 2nd hand if I knew I would get paid off when I hit.

I would play hand 1 in an unraised pot with at least some position - sitting next to the CO or better. If the players are bad I may extend the circumstances a bit.

Hand 2 I would only play on the button with lots of limpers.

I play em. The key is to know on what flops to fold em.
