Why is it so wrong? Very curious.

With 100bb effective stakes I think it wrong to be folding 98s if you are then you are probably playing way to tight this isnt as bad in zoom as in other forms since less players know how tight you are playing but at the lower limits there is just to much value being lost with people never folding over pairs.

Are you folding 22 thru 55 cause these hands have similar implied odds as suited connectors.

GTA Poker

you don't play suited connectors in cash games?

RWPKRPLR

I do, but in zoom I play uber tight until I have some info... seems to be working out so far.

I can't imagine zoom is much different than other cash games...if you play tight you will win, if you learn to play better with a wider range of hands you will win more

Every hand is like sitting down at a new table and playing the first hand against randoms. so most times when I step out of line, my stack dwindles.

Would you sit down in a game, play the first hand with suited connectors with no info?

GTA Poker

yes

If everyone is playing really nitty and expects everyone to play nitty, then suited connectors and 1 gappers are a great way to exploit those nits.

Who would know...... ;) I would never show those...

Just thought of a new poker game to play: Mardi Gras Hold'em. Everyone has a beaded necklace at the start of play. If you want someone to show their cards, you have to give them the necklace. However, in mixed company, hot girls have to show cards and boobs. I mean, it's tradition.

Its quite the sapce to "get it in" as it were, more often than not people think you are robbing, come from strength I have noticed on my end anyway, a lot pays off.
