Raising suited connectors from early position

[ianlippert]

Lately I've been experimenting with a more Laggy style of play and I read somewhere that Daniel N. will usually open a pot with a raise with any suited connector. I was just wondering how good of a play this is? Is it more useful at the higher stakes where you have a chance to steal the blinds?

Not that one hands really means anything, but yesterday I raised T9s 3x BB UTG and got 3 callers. Flopped the nut straight plus flush draw. Bet the pot ($2) get raised to $8 by KK and we get it all in, and I double up. Obviously this is a dream situation for this kind of play, since he probably put me on 99-QQ but I think it illustrates how you can make a lot of money by concealing what type of hand you have with a raise. It was also fun being called a donkey [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
