Re: Importance of suitedness in SH play?
KJs has three ways to win: pairing, straighting, and flushing. The extra 6% chance that you will make a flush with sooted cards helps vastly. Read SSHE (p58), it counts in shorthanded play just as much as full ring.
KJo can win by pairing and straighting, but much less likely flushing. The additional benefit of being suited is not minimal in SH play; yes big cards are more valuable than sooted connectors, but just because of this one should not downplay the usefulness of being suited.
