Glenn,

While your point certainly has merit, I think the important thing to note about the medium suited connectors is just how position sensitive they are. Holdem is still a big card game and conditions need to be ideal to play non-pair little cards for profit. Clearly, as you stated, you don't want to be paying a premium to see the flop with these hands, nor can you stand to be more than 2 off the button.

OTOH, note how even marginal hands like K9s pretty much make money anywhere.

Holdem is a big card game.
