Good answer.

I don't think you have the reads in either of your examples to feel really good about playing 79s to a raise HU.

The first example is a real hand and I agree completely. The second example is theoretical but comes up frequently enough to think about. In the second situation I'm assuming a good tricky lag with a penchant for stealing blinds - apply whatever additional reads you want... The thrust of my question is about why we fold suited connectors (or gappers) when the equity pre-flop suggests a good call. Is it reverse implied odds? I guess it must be?
