Seeing as most suited connectors won't hit even when they do land a draw, would it make sense to play them at all? If I have a suited connector, let's say 98. A k comes up on the board with a flush draw, no pair. Villain raises half pot, call or fold. In this situation, one would have to fold. With only 9 outs, our chances of getting rebet are high, and chances of hitting less than 50. Well be losing more than winning calling down. Therefore, we should only play strong hands so as to have a chance of hitting a straight draw, high flush draw, plus 6 high outs. That could make it worth calling if we hit top pair the turn or river.
