Offsuit Mid-to-Low Connectors (e.g., 6-7 offsuit)
Example:
Offsuit mid-to-low connectors, such as 6-7 offsuit, can be speculative starting hands that offer potential for straights or two pairs. These hands are best played in late position or when the table is playing passively.
For instance, if you have 6-7 offsuit and the flop comes 5-8-9, you have an open-ended straight draw and potential to hit a strong hand with a 6 or 7 on the turn or river.

Suited High Card (e.g., King-Five suited)
Example:
Suited high cards, like King-Five suited, can be playable starting hands in certain situations, primarily when aiming for flushes or utilizing positional advantage.
These hands work best in multi-way pots with loose opponents.
For example, if you have King-Five suited and the flop comes 7-8-10 with two of your suit, you have a flush draw and the potential to hit a strong hand

Offsuit Low Connectors (e.g., 4-5 offsuit)
Example:
Offsuit low connectors, such as 4-5 offsuit, are generally considered weak starting hands. However, they can offer opportunities for making low straights or two pairs if played cautiously.
For instance, if you have 4-5 offsuit and the flop comes 3-6-7, you have an open-ended straight draw and potential for hitting a strong hand with a 2 or 8 on the turn or river.
