Suited connectors of gaps 1 and 2, such as 7-8s or Q-Jd, present opportunity with measured risk. They play well in multi-way pots where your low end may improve, but their high card is still vulnerable. As with all marginal hands, position and the aggressiveness of opponents determine how keenly I would pursue such a hand.
Early position with these, I may call a small raise to see a cheap flop, hoping to hit my suit or improve to two pair/flush potential. Middle/late, a raise is more likely to induce a call from a weak hand, increasing the prize pool should I hit. However, any sizable 3-bet risks too much of the pot odds and these connectors should fold.
Every hand is calculated, weighed for odds and opponents. These types of connectors warrant a call, not a battle, but may flop into a king pot. The possibilities of poker keep life interesting at the tables, even for a pro such as myself! The key is calculating risk vs. reward seamlessly, as in life.
