Hi after an initial re-raise i often find myself call with aj/kq (in middle or late position). However, often im outkicked by ak or something similar. Im begining to think to call early raises with suited connectors in more profitable. Has anyone got any thought how to play these hands to an initial early raiser..

    These are good hands for raising with but terrible hands for calling a re-raise with. Why? Because you're dominated.
    Either be the raiser or run for the hills.

    Regarding calling raises with suited connectors - all I say is don't overdo it. Limit it to about 5% of your stack.
