What kind of suited connectors do you play from late position, when you have the option to limp. 56s and up? Sorry if I sound newbie...

lol. I think I can elaborate on this a little:

It depends ON

-The general texture of the table both pre- and post-flop.
-The number of players already in the pot.
-Whether there are several aggressive players that are going to make it expensive to come along, whether it be preflop or when you hit a draw.
-Your implied odds if you make your hand: will you get paid off handsomely on all streets?

These are just a few of my thoughts. Most of the time I play shorthanded and suited connectors below JTs-T9s are trash. You really have to consider what's going to happen on later streets before you enter the pot. It's hard to go too wrong from late position, though, and suited connectors are pretty easy to get away from.

I agree. I'll play suited connectors down to 76s in late position IF i think I can see the flop for cheap. If the table doesn't seem to be PFR'ing much, I'll call one small bet to flop a good draw and fold to any bet if I miss. BTW, I consider it "missing" to include catching one pair on the flop. It's usually mid or low pair on the board, and I've got a crap kicker. I have been forcing myself into the habit of dropping it instead of trying to defend my pair in hopes of improving to trips or 2 pair. (Leak! )
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
