Default Re: preflop suited aces and suited connectors?

[ QUOTE ]
In these games is it profitable to play low suited aces (like A6s for example) just for the flush potential? (eg. if you flop an ace you're not happy with your hand). What about medium connectors like 89s ?

I definitely avoid low connectors, and at the moment I'm only playing down to JTs, rarely T9s. I've just been folding the suited aces unless I'm in very late position.

Now, I know the standard tight line, but in low-limit holdem that line is too tight, and these hands that can flop something good are playable in almost any position. I'm curious if this works in low-stakes NL. Certainly the implied odds in NL are even better.

In my experience unless you're seeing a free river, most tables aren't passive enough to play low suited connectors or see flush draws. It's also too easy to shutdown when the flush hits, for this reason straights are far more valuable. I prefer having a straight draw to a flush draw.
