No a harrington expert, but I've read is books.

wrt to suited connectors and PP's, I think his point is that you can't limp these and play them for value as you don't have enough chips to be payed off properly when you hit, thus its EV- to speculate with them.

However, I think you definately include these hands along with a wider range (widening as M trends lower) amoung the hands you open strongly with, mostly in position, but often out of position as well depending upon conditions mostly while trying to steal blinds, and in the PP case, semi bluffing (reraising limpers in position etc). The key is, your not looking to "see flops cheaply" with these types of hands hoping to connect with them at get all in.

My .02, ymmv.
