Always play suited connectors when several players are already all-in
I was playing poker the other night and I got dealt a J-Q suited. I was the dealer. Pre-flop, One player went all-in, who got raised by another player who went all-in, who got raised by another player to go all in.
At this point, there were three players all-in, with two raises. I wussed out and folded since I figured they all had me beat (which they did at the time).
But a friend of mine at the table told me I should have gone all-in and made the call (he told me this before seeing the other player's cards). Reason being, they all had great hands, but they were likely already made hands, and it's likely they were sharing cards, so their hands were unlikely to improve. With my suited lower cards, I had a great drawing hand, and I should have gone for it since the pot odds were so good at that point.
As it turns out, I would have won the hand as a Jack and Queen both came up, and the other three players where all holding higher cards. Doh!
