i very rarely play suited cards k6 k5 k4 q6 q5 q4 EG. in mtt`s i think its a losing play but people so often call raises or make up in blinds with these hands & how often they win not with flushes but binking 2 pair etc.suited connectors are a different animal but even making up in blinds i dont like having to play out of position ...so question should i open my range & start calling with these hands k6 q5 etc. or carry on folding them i as i have been

    Just play more volume, they lose more often.

    There is a school of thought that it is better to have a gamble or two early on in MTTs with unusual hands to try and get a big stack going into the middle period of a MTT. In a way it's better to play loose and go out in level 1 with a hand that you maybe should have folded pre flop than to play tight and after a few hours you have a bellow average stack of 30BB, lose a race and bust out without cashing.

    I'm not comfortable with this type of aggressive poker so generally go tight in the first few levels when I have a deep stack. However there have been many occasions where I have lasted till just before the bubble by playing conservative poker and kinda wish I'd gone out to a cooler on the first hand 3.5 hrs ago
