It is a sexy hand I guess---and 'position' is the relevant factor here

Probably on the day when you played and you were knocked out with that hand, there were a lot of bad players, and that was for sure you should be happy that you are won with this hand because it's very good when bad players think they play well, this is a big plus for good players in the future they will be able to make good money from them

I used to have the same feeling about 4-5 suited but lately I've been losing not only against that cards, last time I lost was against a 7J :/

Sometimes I can understand when it’s SB or BB which arleady invest some chips into the hand and it’s beggining of the turnament and blinds are small or he’s pot ratio is big to existing blinds and up to 3bb raise is not enough to call and see the flop.

Inexplicable... it's probably the players who play to get the hand right.

Difficult to say... 69, T7, 94... I believe there will never be an understanding of the reasons for some players.
I think we will spend more time trying to understand them than studying to continue trying to make ev+ plays.

Poker sucks...
Being able to understand that it's a game of back and forth and that we tend to win most of the time against these players (or should) when you play in the least wrong way.

Come on now. People play that hand because they think it's a sexual mystic hand. They feel lucky when they get it and it spills over into poker. Otherwise it is pure sh!t.

Sometimes 69s/o can be good for some reasons:

- Connected cards;
- Suited potential;
- Blind stealing;
- Tournament play, playing agressively can be crucial sometimes for you to take advantage on your adversaries.
- Variance and psychology :p
- When you believe 69 has potential due to your opponents range...
- Entertainment value!!!

It's been ages since I played around with 69s or offsuit. I feel like a loser :(

Maybe you sit with a short stack too tight and way too much. If you don't have fold equity anymore, people will call you with whatever.

It's very simple: weak hands usually plays bad...
