STOP Doing THIS With Suited Connectors!

Published 2024-05-20
In the world of Texas Hold'em, mastering the strategic play of suited connectors can pose a considerable challenge! Despite being one of the prettiest hands in poker, it’s important to understand the intricacies of suited connectors and avoid the temptation to underplay or overplay each and every situation!

In this live poker webinar, PokerCoaching founder and head coach, Jonathan Little, is here to give you a deep understanding of some of the biggest mistakes you MUST avoid when playing your suited connectors!

One of the main complications that arises with suited connectors is the wide range of situations you may find yourself encountering at the poker table, both preflop, flop, turn & river! Due to the inherent nature of being very draw-heavy, both suited and connected, the complexity of suited connectors can quickly start to stack up!

As a result, there is no one-size-fits-all scenario, and being able to adapt on the fly is critical. Failure to take into account essential variables, including stack sizes, potential draws, table position, and the tendencies of opponents can lead to costly errors that will significantly impact your profit at the poker tables!

Mastering the art of playing suited connectors is fundamentally about recognizing the situations to avoid. The allure of suited connectors, with their aesthetically pleasing potential, can make folding that much harder. Remember to be patient and stay disciplined!

In order to take your poker game to the next level it is vitally important you learn all the nuances of the game.

Do you know what ranges of poker hands you should be playing from each position? When should you 3-bet, call or fold? When is the right time to make a hero call or a huge bluff? Do you know how to play preflop, flop, turn & river effectively and how should your poker strategy change depending on the street? What difference does it make if you are playing multi-way vs heads-up?

    Jonathan, I remember the praise that Jesus Ferguson was heaping on you in videos in the early 2000s. He said you were up and coming because is all the hard work and dedication you put into poker garnering success... He was right man. You've become a professor at this.

    For me as a college professor, that response to the tournament/cash question was the most relatable thing I've ever seen - I only wish I could respond the same sometimes, I'd literally potentially lose the whole class for the semester. Great to live vicariously LOL

    Incredibly helpful video, both intro and main content is exactly what I needed to hear after days of brutal runouts, also I was doing mistakes left and right with SC's
  • @goheels7451
    So over the last six months, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and just recently subscribed to your service. I play at a 1-3 game recreationally on Sundays where I don’t think there are very many high IQ players Literally thanks to you. I win probably four out of every five times and average about 12 big Blinds an hour profit. Literally all because of you. Thank you.
  • You are sooooo patient with stupid questions 😊 Ty for all the content you provide Truly appreciated God bless you and your loved ones
  • @pinkcargos
    hey jonathan in an instance heads up in position against RFI what should your 3-bet sizing be when you have a hand that should 3-bet?
  • @cjgooding4512
    Just want to say thanks for the great training site! I got second place in a large tournament they run everyday it's only $16.50 but with over 1,300 people I got 2nd place paid $1,870. Excited to watch this overview about suited connectors!!
  • Have become from break even or over tight nit to tag crusher cuz of all your coaching keep up the vids and coaching thanx
  • What do I think people do wrong with suited connectors? Here's a list of some things before you reveal: open them at too large a frequency from early to mid position, 3-bet with them at too large a frequency, call 3-bets while you're out of position too often with them. When deeper stacked, people should call 3-bets with them a bit more, and if in position + deep stacked, definitely call with them a bit more Vs 3-bets. Solvers sometimes call 4-bets with suited connectors but that's insane territory. You can 3-bet a small frequency with them sometimes, but I reserve that play for being on the button
  • I can't beat my local 1/3 game. It has a 10 percent rake capped at 15 dollars. I used to be a winning player many years ago but can't seem to win now. I am currently down 800 big blinds in this game over 26 sessions. Is this a downswing or is the rake killing me or am I just bad?
  • What should we be doing against players that limp call 100% of hands they take to a flop? Sometimes they limp fold, but they will always limp cold call 3 and 4 bets with TT+ and AQ+ ? Should we just be opening much tighter?
  • @es330td
    I love suited connectors; T9s is my favorite hand. I recognized though that playing right it is very context sensitive. Coming up with a "here's how to play this hand" guide is tough.
  • This is great and all, but I’m confused. Is this for cash games or for tournaments?
  • The idea of the variation of only having certain pieces be used as lockers sounds really fun actually
