Default Re: Silly Suited Connector Hand

This is probably a close call from MP2, but I expected to take the flop at least 5 handed, and that meets my criteria for playing middle suited connectors.

Folding to a bet on the flop with 2nd pair and this board would be very weak. Since it was checked to me, I thought it likely my hand was best.

Based on my read the turn 3 bet didn't tell me much except "he has something". My read may have been wrong, but I've got a pretty good hand at this point.

On the river, your rationale is as weak-passive as it gets...If I'm not beaten already I SHOULD be beat by a flush now? If your expectation is to lose on the river, you will probably succeed in fulfilling that prophecy. And about the players needing to be pretty bad to call with anything I beat...where do you play that someone is folding a ten here? I wouldn't be surprised to see a four call either.
