SSHE suggests playing any two suited cards in the small blind in both loose and tight games. Does anybody feel this is too loose? PT is showing that I am losing money doing this. It's very likely that I may be going to far with them as well. Should I alter the SB requirement? Maybe suited connectors only?

If you don't feel you aren't playing them right, cut it down to connectors and one gappers, and probably Axs-Qxs.

Keep in mind your winrates with suited in the blind is probably never, ever, ever going to converge to a true winrate. That said, I generally call any suited, but if a hand has just some UTG limper with me holding 72s or something I wouldn't mind just chucking it.

Well you are going to have to give more information than this. I might make a comment like...
"I lose .2 BB everytime I play 32s from the small blind, therefore I should start folding it." The truth is that you shouldn't fold it if you lose .2 BB everytime you play it. You will lose .25 BB if you fold it everytime, so you are + .05 BB by playing it. So are you saying that you lose more then .25 BB for all suited connectors, or are you saying that you just lose money net? Everyone loses from the small blind, so if it is the later you have nothing to worry about. |

I initially thought the same as well, but if the flop misses you completely, or all you get is a backdoor draw, it's an easy check/fold.

if it's a bad suited hand (like 84), and it's only 1 caller other than BB, I might dump it.
If it's folded around to me, I it's either raise/fold to steal the BB, depending on the type of player he is. |

Based on SSHE, I used to auto-complete any two suited in the small blind. Now I wait to see the action and:

The biggest advantage to the SB for a TAG is playing non-standard hands for .5SB. Last night I made a T high flush with 7 4 on a K 8 3 board. By the riv, it was a 12BB pot as both weak Ks paid me off. With 2 suited, you make your 5 card flush ~6% of the time pf but 38% with 4 to it on the flop. This play is -EV HU with the BB, but pays nicely with limpers. SB - the LAG seat for TAGs!! |
