Any pocket pair has connectors beat pre-flop, simply because you are starting a hand with a pair already, and in theory 70% of the time, everyone misses the flop.
Generally speaking I would rather push all-in with a pair, than risk it with connectors, because of the same reasoning, but! depending on position, stack-size, and how many are involved in the hand, I would possibly call an all-in from someone with either hand.
It is all down to the Poker Gods and how lucky you feel, that is how bad beats and suck outs happen, Once I called an all-in with K/3 suited and found myself up against A/K , I paired the 3 and won, but I was the player at risk and I was just tired of being pushed around by the big stack, nothing skillful about it, just a lucky coin toss.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
