Default Re: Suited connectors <. Non-Suited connectors?

So are you (or other NL/PL players) more likely to call a bunch of limpers or an unraised pot with 5s6d rather then 5s6s? Or do you call with both and throw it away if you make a flush and get a lot of action, fearing suited overcards?

I could understand mucking it if a 4th suited card comes up, since a lone A or K (or JQT89...) makes a higher flush, but it seems like you're throwing away a lot of EV by worrying about over cards with any suited connectors.

Although I can see how most of your money is going to be made by making your straights instead of flushes, since it seems people are far more worried about 3 suited cards on a flop then they are with a straight-ish board. So if your flush is good then perhaps you'll get very little action unless you're beat, whereas with the straight you get a lot of action from overpairs/sets/two pairs?
