Message: [QUOTE="SydTheCat, post: 3988271, member: 54937"] I think the first I was aware how players love 9-7 was probably about 10-12 years ago. I was watching a tournament on Pokerstars with Apestyles. He 4-bet all in with 97s and he was up against Aces. When they flipped the cards, I thought "WTF, He went all in with 97? What is he crazy ?" Sure enough, the flop comes, and he rivers a straight, or was it a flush ? Either way, he won that hand and since then I started playing 9-7 as often as I could. I still do, and so does most players. Is it really that strong of a hand? Why don't we fall in love 10-8 or 8-6 or 7-5? Something about 9-7 that players go crazy over. Tell me what you all think. Do you play that suited connector more often then any others? [/QUOTE]
