those stupid small "suited" connecting cards every1 raves about. no matter if its raised or i see cheap the flop is ALWAYS a miss. ive stolen some small pots rarely by betting into the flop but either raised or called which slows you down. even hands like q/j or j/10 suited arent worth a fuck as for as the flops ive seen with them. ya get small suits the flop comes k k q with about 4 or 5 people in it. you get suited q/j or j/10 the flop comes 8 6 3 with maybe 1 spade and same amount of peeps. i raise with those cards also and called or reraised alot of times. they are just hands that drive me "nuts!"
You play the man first... then you play the cards. Q 7 is my favorite hand and nobody knows why--it's just that in games I've played it shows up on the board the most. You can raise with ANY hand. It doesn't have to be a power pre-flop hand. After the flop, you can still outplay your opponent and hope he missed.
at house games those cards are what makes you money you sneak into a big pot with 2-3 people nail trips or catch a two pair etc etc and no one expects it and they walk right into it.

There are a lot of situations. You can never say "never". I shoved all-in last night with 72os...That would be a sure candidate for a "never" but in the situation it was the thing to do.
Since im usually looking for hands to play i play them often. Mainly in late position to steal with. Im raising anyway but the SC gives me a decent shot to hit a hand if i get played back at....
In early position i raise like i would with any other hand. Say i have 56s ...Im in EP raise get 1 caller...Flop comes A74..Now im freerolling. but if it came A92....I lead out for 3/4 pot and what can the guy call with? If he's got an A in a small game he shoves, If he has a set he calls and 75% he folds cus he aint got shit...No way he doesnt put me on an A so its ideal for me.
Lets go back to the A74 flop...I can ck this to him like the A scared me. Now he bets and i shove....What can he call with ? Well from his point of view maybe AK or 77 44 but other than that now he's fucked....but say he has AK or even a set, if he does call im not a huge dog at all...
So actually for me they are played just like any other hand PF....its after the flop where the action or lack of takes place...
