I may sound nuts here but SCs are quite profitable for me. I like to play them from the CO/BTN/blinds. Sometimes I limp along, sometimes I raise it up... just depends on who's already in the pot. And when you play them in position, you have the option to take a free card. SCs are exactly the type of hands where I can build a nice pot or easily duck out on the flop. This is all common knowledge though...

I think the problem that most players have with SCs is that they play for the straight or flush pre-flop, but end up flopping a pair and get themselves in trouble on 4th/5th street.
