Default suited connector odds

In sng play the starting stacks are so small and the blinds rise so quickly that it is rarely wise to play drawing hands. The common advice is to avoid connectors, But then it is also said playing small and medium pairs is great as long you you fold when you don't hit your set. I happen to think the same type of logic should be applied to connectors. Just like a set, they are great for getting paid off when you really hit a flop. That said I do not have the math to prove this to myself. Alas, my question: what are the odds of suited connectors hitting two pair, or a full house, or a straight, or a flush. Note, I am looking for the combinded odds of hitting anyone of these hands. As a side question, am I right that a pair improving to a set on the flop is 8:1?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has the answer.

Ryan
