I'd almost rather not be suited if it's a multiway pot. I hate to risk my low flush against the nuts.

Certainly you can play your suited connectors as if they were unsuited connectors -- i.e. only play on for the straight draw. But the suitedness still adds some value as a backdoor draw. i.e. the flop is 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I would be happier calling with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] than with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], because I have the hope of another heart on the turn giving me both draws.
