Re: the suited connectors and stuff... realize that where are a lot of limpers, you call because of implied odds (good), but you are calling to hit a monster or a monster draw. You don't want to bet into a handful of people with weak holdings. If you have middle pair, no draw and weak kicker and there's 4 people left to act... let it go. you've invested squat into the pot.

position, position, position.

This is the main thing. Don't screw around, fold your weak hands. You aren't playing 78suited to get a pair of 8's. You're looking for a flush or a straight, and if you don't have 4 cards toward one or the other after the flop, get out.
