what is suited and connected?

[Stick66]

Yep but they're not called "suited connecteds" are they? They're connectors because they connect other cards together to make straights. It has nothing to do with whether they're connected themselves. It just so happens that the ones that are connected are also the best at connecting other cards, because they can make a straight most ways.

Sklansky couldn't have said it better himself. I surely wouldn't argue with a top respected poker theorist and million selling author. But y'all can knock yourselves out.

I havn't read thru all theses posts yet, but I've been hearing this lately as well. Any 2 suited cards that stretch are being called Suited Connectors. I thought it was a mistake until I read the new Sklankey Miller Book "No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice". They seem to be refering to anything that stretches. They distinguish between them by the size of the gaps. No gap, 1 gap etc. Who am I to argue with David Sklansky?
