Re: Why Raise with Suited Connectors? (NLHE)
[ QUOTE ]
because betting on the later streets is a function of the pot size. You make the pot twice as big and the flop/turn/river betting all double also. Therefore your implied odds (which are the relationship between the amount you have to bet and the amount you expect to win if you hit) will stay the same.

Fair enough, if the stacks were infinitely deep. However, in most structures it only take a few called pot-sized bets to get to the point where someone thinks about pushing. And obviously if someone pushes your implied odds are definitely worse if you raised preflop with a drawing hand.
