3 TIPS To CRUSH With Suited Connectors!
Published 2023-05-24
Suited connectors should make you lots of money, but too many small stakes players make huge errors with them! Jonathan is going to give you his 3 best tips to help you stack more opponents!
In this poker strategy video you’re going to learn:
- How to play (and NOT play) suited connectors preflop
- How to avoid huge postflop mistakes
- Tips for live cash games & tournaments
You should stop thinking about suited connectors as either good or bad hands, it depends entirely on the stack depth and situation. When you are short stacked, suited connectors are not great hands but when you are deep stacked they are excellent hands! This is because of implied odds which is the amount of $$$ you stand to win on later streets when you make a very strong hand!
When you are deep-stacked, you typically want to have equity when you decide to bluff. Suited connectors are great hands to bluff with because they typically draw to straights and flushes. Being aggressive at the poker table allows you to steal the pot from your opponents, whilst still being able to outdraw them and ‘get there’ on future streets!
Suited connectors are excellent because they make straights & flushes, but remember that they also make weak 1-pair hands quite often. If you want to maximize your profits and crush your opponents at the poker table, you have to learn to recognize when your marginal poker hands should simply fold!

In a tournament a few weeks ago, I bloated the pot multi-way with middle pair + flush draw on the flop because I did not want to be up against one player with a higher flush draw and one player with a higher pair, in which case I would be in really bad shape. I opened 9♦️8♦️ from MP and got two callers IP and one in the BB. Flop T♦️8♥️3♦️. BB donk-shoved about 1.3x pot. I shoved for roughly 3x his stack to avoid the situation above. Both remaining players had me covered. First preflop caller promptly folded. Second tank called. BB held K8o and second caller held A♦️Q♦️, so I ended up in that situation in spite of all my efforts to avoid it. A third ♦️ landed on the river for the second caller to take both the main and side pots and bust both of us.

I love these. I am using poker coaching as well. I’m tired of being the fish at the table so i have been trying to get better at managing tilt and bankroll management. Working on 3-betting more and and also x raising too.

Jonathan just a quick shoutout that I really appreciate what you do here. I haven't played live since pre covid before they shut down the local games but I'm itching to find some live action again sometime soon and your content helps me to feel like I won't be totally lost when I finally do get back to it! Thanks again, you're awesome 👍

Thanks a lot for this Video. I was searching for something like that and its the newest and most easy explained one on YouTube. Keep it up, explaining practical instead of too theoretical. I want too improve my poker not just in theorie, but also on some examples. Well down👏👏👏

maybe important to make sure your opponent also has a deep stack for the implied odds to pay out. if you have 80bb and they have 20bb, effectively you have 20bb. so might want to look out for that one

Great videos. I seem to always win the small pots but either struggle to get the money in when I have the nuts or lose to a better hand when there’s lots of money on the pot
-
56 or AK. Effective nuts to break A-5 straight on board and of course top Straight (flush) draw
