Hi, just wondering about probability of hitting a straight depending on your pocket... I was thinking about suited connectors, and thought that possibly, something like, for example on 8Ts or TQs had the exact same chance of hitting a straight as a suited connector.. because even though there is a card between them, the cards that drop are still random and therefore the same probability. If anyone can clarify this for me I would appreciate it greatly, tyvm all

TJ can hit 4 straights.
AKQJT
KQJT9
QJT98
JT987
TQ can only hit 3 straights, (using both cards).
AKQJT
KQJT9
QJT98
Therefore you are more likely to hit a straight with a connector.

Additionally, AK can make only one straight, AKQJT using both cards, KQ only 2, and so on. Whereas JT can make 4, all of which are the nuts assuming you use both cards and aren't paired.
