Does the suitedness of Joe's 9-7 really make that much difference? Is suitedness, generally, more or less important in shorthanded, as opposed to longhanded, games?

Mathematically speaking, suitedness is super important both short and long handed. I mean it's "more" important long handed because you'd always limp a hand like 97s behind a few limpers and never limp 97o, but, it's also very important in spots like this. It's a 5% edge. Blackjack players spray wet dreams daily for 5% in their favor.
