In limit poker, would you rather have JJ or mid ranged suited connectors? Me personally, I think the suited connectors would be better because everyone seems to chase in pot limit and catch everything on the river.

I would take a pocket pair over any suited connector. JJ, hands down I would rather have.

Really? With the way everyone plays and chases in limit, it seems like the latter would be better.

I guess I am not much of a limit player anyway so it is hard for me to adjust much from NL to limit. But I am just not much of a suited connector kind of a guy.

I agree, in a limit game having linked connectors can be fun. I feel like the more hands I play in a limit game the more likely I'm going to hit that straight or flush. The problem with it though, is I've been trying to train myself to play the hand I have, not the hand I'm going to draw. So you must have better self control than I do.

I suppose in limit poker I would rather have the suited connectors in case I could catch anything. In NL I would rather have the JJ so I could force people out of the hand. I know that I have had JJ many times and I hate it. Seems like I lose 75% of the time hahah

its tough in the sense that monsters rarely get you a monster pot unless you come up against a lesser monster than yours, which happens rarley. Its seems your draws an so called fishing are were you probably earn the biggest pots, lol its probabLy were you'l lose your biggest pots to! thing with NL an limit is it can be expensive to find a draw in NL therfore i imagine in limit people hit draws alot more, which would wind me up no end!!!

This is exactly the reason why I do not play limit, because you see both novice and advanced players playing to their luck where they would normally not. If you're going to bluff, that's fine, if you're actually playing your cards, that's good too. If you're going to play the turn and the river cards potential outcomes from the pre-flop, don't sit down at the table with me. I cannot stand healthy betting from someone who has pocket pairs or something well above their opponent who gets skunked on the river from someone limping in with their fishing rod hoping to catch the big one at the last second. If I were playing limit though, I would play the suited connectors, they provide a lot more options than pocket pairs. With pocket JJ, you may be even more tempted to play the limits of each round of betting while ignoring the inside straight or the flush that the sucker across from you is getting. Limit poker is a very heads-up game that leaves a lot of skilled players frustrated.

I would say suited connectors would be better. It's easier to me. alot more options too

You do have a point, but it depends on your position. If you have JJ and you can raise a limper in early position the rest of the table will be unlikely to call both bets with a subpremium hand. If all you can do is raise a bet in late position and you know as it goes back around everyone else is surely going to call that one more bet then it's better to have a hand that plays better in a multi-way pot. But it's great to have some big pocket pairs in situations where you can force players to call multiple raises in order to stick around.
