even when a connected hand (example: 7/10 - 6/8 - 8/7 etc.) worth being one call or raise? because I see a lot doing this even before the flop and I do not see reason for such a decision.

These connector hands are great to play if you are in late position at the table to try to steal blind or just to try to see the flop cheaply, and if you manage to hit a good flop for you to do much, otherwise just drop the hand

depends on your playing style, your amount of form, position, time and good play to see the flop to see if the hand can bring good profits.

Beautifully put. I won't call them out of position but hijack, cutoff and button I'll raise x3 the blind if it's folded to me.

Consider table dynamics and position.

There isnt a 'one statement fits all' answer.

I think you pretty much nailed it right there.

Yeah late position for sure . Love getting 76 suited with 2 or 3 called you can almost guarantee a hit but you still have to be careful

It depends on the position and against whom I played these cards, but I prefer to see the flop cheaply with these cards, of course depends on the flop and what I read on my opponent and see whether to play the hand.
