How many of you would consider playing suited gappers (having a gap from 2 to 5) instead of playing a speculative hands like AQ or AJ off. Someone test this out and see if it works.
He has a caveat. He doesn't play a three gap suited. I forget the exact page but he does talk about 8c4c in one of the examples where he won't play the high and low end. So in some ways it contradicts his example in the double belly section since he uses Q6o as an example of a draw he might play but he won't play the high and low end in the 8c4c example even though you could have a DBB and flush draw on that hand. Perhaps he's dealing with a subtle level of decpetion that isn't so obvious to me. Or perhaps it is and I'm too lazy right now to admitt it.
