Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 raises, 1 fold, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero calls

Is it wrong to call a raise preflop with suited connectors in big pots with lots of cold callers?

Looks good to me.

Gotta play.

That looks very good. I am interested if people do the same with perhaps only two people on a 6max table.. Like you are on the button or co and utg calls and utg+1 raises.

As the table gets shorter, hands like KJo and A9o go up in value, while hands like 98s and JTo go way way down in value.

With that many callers, suited connectors are very playable. I call here as well.

Easy call. 4 players in the pot already, 98s plays well multi-way and you have the button. Any reads? With normal players, I would think you are facing at least one pocket pair here so keep that in mind on the flop action.

hell yeah, your position is great if you flop gutshot/OESD/Flushdraw.

Although UTG could 3bet andkill the field but you can still trap them for atleast 1 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
