Thanks everyone for contributing.
Why should we be less inclined to play suited connectors if there are calling stations behind us? Wouldn't we want calling stations to call so that that when we hit we get paid off?

When you raise with 98s you probably have one of the worst hands at the table. K2o is way better than this.
[/ QUOTE ]Just reading through this old topic but that's not actually true. If you pokerstove it 98s is actually better against a random hand even all in preflop than K2o is. Against a tighter range like any pair AJ+, 98s is even further ahead and multiway it's also way better. Even 98 suited v K2o all in preflop is a coinflip.
So 98s is not just a lot more playable than K2, it is actually a stronger hand.
