Playing suited connectors can be done from most positions, providing you can get into the hand inexpensively. These hands can be very profitable when the flop hits you, and most opponents won’t put you on these types of hands because it’s widely considered poor poker to play them. But experienced players play all sorts of hands in the hopes of hitting a flop.

Once you’re in a hand with cards like these you’ll need to either hit trips, two pair or a good draw. If you have a lead like two pair, it’s important to try and take down the pot right there with a big bet or raise. The board could easily pair, and your lead may get counterfeited if your opponent has a bigger pair. If you’re on a draw, you should be getting proper draw odds to stay in the hand if someone has bet into you.
