Re: SS Strategy Question: 76s UTG -- The Hand in Question
[ QUOTE ]
After we talked about the hand, I agreed that this is a very bad spot to limp with this hand. Given the opponents and their quality, would you totally remove this hand from play? I've got to think this hand is still ok after limpers from LP. But I agree, UTG is probably not a good spot overall for this hand.

Suited connectors are nice hands to play on passive tables that rarely get raised PF. This ain't one of 'em. They're also nice on tables where 6 or 7 players see the flop. You say at least 5, which helps. But with the 2+2ers here, the time to play suited connectors is in late position after a number of limpers, and the 2+2ers have either folded or are in the blinds. It can win a big pot against people with big cards, but you don't want to pay 2SB to see a flop, and UTG you're asking someone to raise behind you.
But you knew that already I guess. (That said, what's everyone's cutoff for open-limping UTG? I'm thinking QJs could be okay, while JTs is a fold, and KQs is a raise?)
