Your hand might be disguised so good that someone with TP/2pair/set plays very aggressive thinking he is ahead, so you are laying your hand down thinking he is holding a higher straight/flush.

Edit: You cant expect to make huge profits with SC'ers I think. You just have to play them, because if you dont you are basically playing only PPs and Paint, which makes you very predictable.
Playing SC's is good to mix up your game, while still having the potential for flushes/straights.
no i don't lay down straights and flushes. i don't chase straights when flush draws are on the board. i've gotten flush-over-flush a bunch when playing sc's. one thing i don't like about a lot of people's advice for sc's is to play them in big multi-way pots. if i have a 7-high flush in a 6-way pot i'm very afraid of a higher flush...mainly Axs. do i lay it down? no. i don't play for stacks when i have a straight and there's 3 to a flush on the board (unless i put opponent on a non-flush hand i can beat). i'm just wondering where people's profit comes from who say sc's make up for a lot of their profit.
