    love 'em.

    My biggest win last night was at 0.5/1 against a Swede: action:

    Q8 suited late me: raise 5bb knocked out limper

    BB re-rerasied (he likes to push ppl off hands)

    25 8 unsuited landed... the rest is history..

    Q8 suited - well its very gappy but I still like it....
    See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money

    Vastly overrated.

    I think calling raises with hands like J9s cost me a lot of money until I removed this from my game.
    Open raise or raise limpers with them maybe but calling a 3-4x raise with 57s is a major leak.

    Just to add on to Wota's comment, if there's 3 or 4 limpers stringing along...see a a cheap flop.

    But don't treat them like the nuts.

    J9s is crap.

    35s-79s are the nuts.

    I basically play them as if they were suited connectors.

    i agree, the only times u should be playing these hands should be when u have position, and the majority of the time you should be raising the pot pf, not calling.

    if ur calling a raise with these hands, it should be a multi-way pot (preferably where u have position over everyone), and u and the initial raiser should be pretty deep stacked (id say at least you and the pf raisers stack should be at least 20x the pf raise).. it is also better if the initial pf raise came from EP, cuz u got a bigger chance of cracking someone with AA/KK.
