How do you play seven six suited?
Seven six suited is a low suited connector you open from most seats, a hand that flops big draws and disguised straights but rarely wins without improving.
Seven Six Suited
SpeculativeOpen it from any seat in a balanced game, and call raises in position when the stacks are deep. It makes well-hidden straights, it makes flushes, and it flops plenty of draws, all of which can win a big pot against a one-pair hand that never sees it coming. It needs position and depth to be worth playing, because it almost never wins a pot it does not improve in.
This hand opens for a raise from every position, including under the gun.
Common mistake: Playing it for value with a weak pair. Seven six is a draw-and-implied-odds hand, so a pair of sevens or sixes is not a hand to commit chips with.
Quick tip: Disguised straights are the payoff. No draw, no hand, most of the time.
