I read and thought a bit about the implied odds of small suited connectors, so I decided to be a bit looser with them preflop. It doesn't feel to make really sense so far though, but that's probably my fishy way of playing them Any thoughts about these hands?

Suited connectors are very position-dependent - only play them in early pos at a very weak table because once you get raised and the number of players seeing the flop is reduced, your implied odds are crumbling.

Your minraise on the flop is a TERRIBLE move - you need to improve to win the hand so you should be trying to stay in as cheaply as possible.

I think you mean only play them in LATE position.

If you're going to start playing these tricky hands, you better realize that one pair isn't gonna do it. You're killing yourself by making classic rag mistakes.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

So I should fold preflop in hand #2 like I used to do.. What about the first hand? Is it +EV to call the 5BB raise here after 2 callers? What if the other 3 had bigger stacks?
