It's such a massive asset to my game and I believe this to be Gus Hansen's and Daniel Negraneu's expertise. I don't think I'm as good as them at this...

I agree with this statement 100%!

Goes without saying if you are posting here.

I have this theory - it's smarter to raise with 45 suited than K-10 off, it's smarter to raise 56 suited than Q-10 off, etc.

Seems groundbreaking... but it sounds familiar somehow. Are you sure you haven't seen that idea in print somewhere else?

[ QUOTE ]
The reasons behind my play with such hands is that K-10, Q-10, QJ, when raised, are far more likely to be dominated than 45

Need to toggle this thread. Maybe Citanul or Durron will sticky it.

Now you're just talking crazy. Give yourself some credit, Copernicus.

The one downside I know of is that if the two undercards run into a high pair, they are fairly dominated (although low suited connectors are wonderful cards to hold in a must-all in situation when you run into, lets say, AA, as 56 suited is the #1 hand against AA in preflop percentages)

at why buy in are you trying these moves? seems like lower buy in people will just call you down.

Re: Preflop Raise Theory
 

While I haven't read anything relating specifically to sit n gos, I agree with the initial post. At the lowish levels I usually play ($20 - $30), I belive K,10; Q,J; and Q,10 are folding or limping hands unless you are short stacked.

I have often found that people with top pair top kicker or overpairs on the flop misprice their bets and allow me to correctly draw and make a straight or a low two pair with 4,5; 5,6; and 6,7. I guess my point is I think the low connectors are a lot of fun in passive games.

All apologies if this post is either (i) too obvious or (ii) cleary incorrect.
