Where did this hand go wrong?

ExLeper78

This is early in an MTT. DIP137 had been a bit lucky having just 450 chips about 2 or 3 hands ago. I've got him down as loose/aggressive, but that may be because his stack has been up and down and back again. What did I do wrong? Was it the original call, or calling his bet pre-flop instead of re-raising? Or should I have shoved on the turn?

ratedRKO

where did this hand go wrong? imo open limp pre sucks. hate callin the flop and then leadin the turn on that board u may as well just flip ur cards over to your opponent, when he repops ya i think u may aswell just jam turn coz its obv ur never foldin

ExLeper78

On the turn there are two flush draws. I've taken advice from the forum here and bet 3/4+ pot to offer bad odds, and it never works for me

What is the correct way to play suited connectors? I've read that limping is ok. I read that raising is ok. I've just started using them in my arsenal and it seems, more often than not, like bringing a blunt pen-knife to a gun fight.

I've noticed people get very passionate about limpers on this site. Is it ever ok to limp?

Either fold or if you're going to add suited connectors to your arsenal, bring it in with a raise. 910 possibly goes away pre-flop.

Then leading out pretty strongly on the flop with 2nd pair and open ended straight draw gives you another chance to take it down; they're likely to fold with a mere gutshot...

Re limping, to regurgitate what the experts and analysts say. Limping with a plan, or with a monster is ok, otherwise, always raise it up or fold.

Am no expert, I'd be listening to the players like LOL_RAISE who seem to have a very good game.

Snap fold pre.
