Wow, I really need to check my game .

I actually raise with KQs, pp and even Axs
I don't play Axo or most off suited connectors.
as for suited connectors, I'm also not crazy about them, I might limp from late position or even call a small raise, but usually I prefer to dump them preflop.
I'm really not comfortable playing small flush. Is it just me, and is it really wrong?

It really depends on the table and what kind of players you are seated with. What works in some conditions may be inherently wrong with other players/stacksizes/average potsizes.

No. He means connected hands by 23s-KQs.
23s-34s-45s-56s-67s-etc...

24s-KJs = 24s-35s-46s... etc

24 up to JK are two cards separated with only one card.
47 up to TK are two cards separated by 3 cards. All have a str8 potential.
But to be honest, if you don't know that by now, best not play them.
Most of us are not as lose as Supa is ...
I rarely play low connected cards and even more rarely low 1 card separated connectors (is there a name for those)

This is not meant as an insult or an imply you don't know the game.
Thing is Supa is a very lose player. If you don't see the statue of the above pairs of card (suited connectors , 1 card removed suited connectors etc...) I did assume you are not playing the game that long , hence I recommend you didn't play them most of the time.

No offense intended what so ever.

Suited one, two and three gaps are the "official" names.

I play so damn tight then I rarely play anything under a pp or AX in EP. Oh well...to me tight is right. Keeps my roll in the positive side and nmot the negative side.... :)

Seriously I usually only play top 10 hands in EP, top 20 in MP and about any in LP.

If the pot is unraised the top tens hands in LP I will raise with, small pp I will limp with, anything I am not sure about I limp with.

Well, thats far from any..

With the above stated hands I'll do the same from MP and often from EP.

Now I might start limping in with un suited high connectors , two face cards etc..

Just raise most of the time when playing these. Offsuit unconnected high cards suck in limpfests IMHO.

They're marginal winners at best, but are ok for throwing in some more hands into the raising ranges so we don't look like rocks - if we happen to be at a table were we think people notice these things.
