3-7 Suited

I'm a tournament player mostly,
(I play in low stakes ring games sometimes but it's really not for me.)
and I've been noticing something interesting lately about a hand that I've previously auto-mucked. The 3-7 suited.
Now of course this is only something i's play in position or from the blinds if I could see a cheap flop but, let me point out the beautiful thing about this hand.........First off, it plays itself post-flop. Very easy to tell where you stand, unless of course you flop two pair and get played at you have to worry about a set. But if you can lay it down than it's no prob.
The other thing that makes this hand soooo cool is that when you do hit, it's as unassuming as a little kitty cat.
on a flop of 3,7 Q for example, I would have no problem raising with QT and higher in pos. so I'd get mopped up by 37. and that's exactly what happens. I know that many would consider anybody playing this hand at best ballsy and at worst a total donk but I think that there's real value in it if you play it right.

Let me know what you think about this one guys.

Nothing special about 3-7 that doesn't apply to any other garbage hand. You hit the flop, nobody suspects you might have hit, unless they've already seen you playing garbage.

The only thing that separates it from other garbage hands is that it's got straight and flush possibilities as well as the usual pair, 2 pair, trips. possibilities. like a low, suited, 3 gapper you know.

Sounds like it may just be your fave non premium hand at the moment... I only play suited connectors and semi connectors since the 3 gappers get me into trouble. If you like the hand and want to play it, I say go for it, but the times when you miss the flop are probably going to outnumber the times your 3-7 spikes 2 pair against an over pair.

Not usually a 3 gap player but like you said if you play it in position on a tight table you could really mop up.

that is a so so hand but you can make a lot of money on it or lose it

Deffenitly could make some money but not my style to play weak hands like that

this has to be a level

My favorite is playing the 27s because anytime the flop goes 227 everyone always plays back at me....but I have it every single time :)

My problem w it is that it is a 3 gapper. You never have the nuts, either as a straight or a flush. I prefer speculative hands that are connected or draw the nuts (Axs, PP, JTs... The odds of hitting a monster are much higher with these hands, and they are more profitable.

yea 3 7 suited is the same as all the rest of garbage hands!!

3-7 like the top comet said is very easily hidden, but it\'s very hard to win no matter what happens with 3-7 at showdown.

Sweet. Poker solved in one concise post. Well-done, explained in detail and in an easy how-to format. Next step: WSOP.

I do agree, but I prefer not to play the three-gappers as there is no way your going to get the nuts unless it is a str8 flush or quads.

I disagree, heads up 37 is pretty much at least 1 in 5 against anything. Hard, sure. But not very hard.

garbage, just praying for a miracle, I get playing suited and running but 3/7 suited is part of the new online generation

even if the flop came out 3-7-Q like you said, first theres always a possibility that the other person also limped with Q/3, Q/7 so your already beat. second, hypothetically lets say hes playing A/Q, top pair top kicker, he would be 20% to still hit a Q or A or 1 in 5x and if that card does come your 100% not getting away from your hand so the Implied odds on guys trying to trap by hitting a second pair above yours or trips has huge river value even if its only 1 in 5x...

the only other way you could play it good would be 3-7-Q in which 2 of the cards are flush cards like the 7+Q, then the 3 hits on the Turn giving a guy the flush and giving you a FullHouse in which your getting all His chips then (most likely) if hes on a Nut Flush... that's the only way to play it, its ok to have it in your tool box but I wouldn't rely on it pretty much EVER... and your bound to lose Huge with it at some point especially if your in a $100K+ guar or higher tourney Live because everyone plays soo aggressive in those youd be lucky to even see a flop with it unless your super deepstacked later on... and the chances of flopping a 4-5-6 of the same suit for a straight flush is close to 0%
