People R/C shoves with MID suited connectors (ie 98s)

People R/C shoves with MID suited connectors (ie 98s)

I Play on GG (...) And in the recent days Ive seen more and more GUYS raise-calling with MID suited connectors, like 76s-98s, even to 15BB shoves, Ive checked the stats and they're like 40% against AT-AK, not to mention an overpairs. Is this a new fad or am I doing sth wrong with my Play?

People will be 3-bet raising preflop with SC's in order to balance their 3-bet range.

People will also call raises with SC's especially OTB for positional reasons and in the BB for price reasons and because they are last to act.

One hand I played in Rebuy Stars Luka in Prague had a raise UTG a call I called with 44 and then several more calls including the BTN SB and BB. The flop came 456r and it checked to me (I had about 115,000 chips) and I bet 12,000 into a pot that was about 22,000 or so. There was a fold and a call and then the BTN went all in for like 175,000. SB folded BB went all in for about 37,000 and it folded back to me. I tank folded. I think I would have called if I had 66 and probably 55. The turn was a 5 and the river a 7. BTN had 32s and the BB had 73s. So I would have gone deep. The BTN was one of the best players I have ever played against in tournaments. So I learned something.

And Yes, i totally see how low SCs can be playable post, i just dont understand why my shoves pre are being raise called with ones. It started last week. I think ppl are mimicking others with no odds im mind


Are you playing bounty tournaments?

Are you playing bounty tournaments?

Both bounty and freezeouts, i forgot to notice if IT was in pkos but you might be onto sth. Does the bounty cover the gap in odds tho?

And just to be clear, i'm not implying that online poker is rigged. There were no such things at stars. It's just GG

As bad as it was, at least 87s covers 22-66. What does 42s cover, 11?
