Default Re: Early on: my best and worst starting hands

[ QUOTE ]
Worst hands: By far, low suited connectors and stuff like 96s, 75s, Kxs. Also AQos, KJos, JTos, and J9os.

The fact that you're losing money with certain hands, doesn't say much about their intrinsic value, but rather about how you play them. If you're really losing significant money on these hands, early on, you are definitely misplaying them. KJos, TJos and J9os can be very tricky and you should be very careful if you want, from some reason, to see a flop with them. It is very possible you are playing too many draws, which is a big mistake in an SNG.

As to the 97s and 75s - usually, these are not trouble hands. Either you hit hard or you're out very fast. If they are such big losers for you, you clearly need to auto-fold them PF, and work on your post-flop game. No need to lose money on such speculative hands.
