Suited Cards

[PokerCat69]

Assuming both you and villian have 100BB stacks, is it correct in calling a raise as much as 3% of your stack?

I don't play random suited cards like Q4s, but rather Axs, Suited connectors, or any 2 suited cards T+.
In a 25NL game, that equals .75

It depends on the villain and your own style of play. If you're going to play straightforwardly and ABC, calling a raise with anything except pocket pairs and AK is going to lose you money. If you pull a lot of moves and try to take pots away from the raiser frequently, whether you have a hand or not, calling with suited connectors and suited Broadways can be great.

not always. 3% isnt too much of your stack, but you are only about 5% to hit really well with hands like that and theres no promise you'll get payed off

If I wanted to play it safe, you'd recommend just limping in from LP if their was no PF raise?

Or avoiding these hands all together?

Well, don't avoid them altogether, but play them in late positions with a lot of players and FOLD to raises of over 3x BB unless you have a lot of players/pot equity.

i play them all the time for unriased pots, open raise with them, and and call when the price is right. i dont mind the added variance because playing more hands is fun. im also not going to let somebody take too much of my money when i make just a pair with them which is why i dont mind playing them
