Fundamentals of Post-Flop play for Suited Connectors

I thought this would be a hugely interesting topic to explore. I'll give it another day for responses to questions 1 & 2.

In preparation for answering question 3: Does anyone have a system for determining pre-flop equity with these holdings... or even a rule of thumb? I usually don't chase with these hands, I'd say less than 50%, based on position and pre-flop aggression. I don't know if this is in any way optimal. I don't like to get involved unless I'm at least 90bb deep with these hands and so are my (multiple) opponents. I don't know if this is too tight for optimal EV. Any ideas on this one?

I'm not convinced pre-flop equities are important in deciding whether to play these hands i mean if your flatting an early position raise IP or calling from the BB you know your behind villains range and he knows it if he's at all a thinking player. Its very unlikely your flatting with the very top of your range in these spots AA,KK,QQ or AK. Your basically set mining if the stacks are deep enough or 3bet bluffing.

ATC vs a super tight range still has 24.44% equity to win pre-flop, this might be of some use for a rough guide.
