Re: Quick cold call question
[ QUOTE ]
clarkmeister wrote a post way back when about things small stakes players should unlearn and coldcalling with suited connectors was one of them.
funny thing is, the more experience you gain and the better you get, you start to unlearn what you unlearned and start coldcalling with suited connectors again.
benefits
1) multiway hand in a decent sized multiway pot
2) the button
3) you supposedly play better postflop than your opposition
negatives
1) cuts your implied odds in half when you coldcall
2) gonna get expensive
the better you get, the more you can get the positives to outweigh the negatives, but at this stage i don't think it'd be bad to fold.

clarkmeister is a wise man and I agree, but I think I would call with T9s and maybe 98s in a similar situation when I expect maybe 2 more callers behind me (a total of +5 players to see the flop, me excluded).
