Heya all I've been looking to incorporate a few more more hands into my ring game lately and figured suited connectors ( no gap ) would be ideal. I figure in order to make money on the hand I need to hit either:

-two pair
-trips
-straight draw
-straight
-flush draw
-flush

So I think that my odds of having a made hand on the flop are:

-flopping EXACTLY two pair by pairing EACH of your hole cards 2.02%
-flopping EXACTLY trips by flopping two cards to one hole card 1.347%
-flopping EXACTLY a full house, trips of one hole card and pairing the other 0.092%
-flopping EXACTLY four of a kind, three cards to one of your hole cards 0.01%
-flopping a straight (including the slight chance of a straight flush in some cases) 1.306%
-flopping a flush (including the slight chance of a straight flush in some cases) 0.842%
Total: 5.617%

If I add straight draws and flush draws it becomes:
-Straight Draw 10.449%
-Flush Draw 10.944%
Total: 27.01%



By comparison the only other "drawing hand" I call with right now preflop is low pocket pairs. The chance of them making trips (or better) is 12%.

So my guess here is that suited connectors are generally only profitable if your post-flop skills are very good? Or are they so good becuase of their implied odds?
