Also, the advantage of "suitedness" is somewhat less quantifiable when you consider the playability of suited cards. 2-card flushes are almost always going to be the best hand, with considerable implied odds from strong non-nut hands. So that 5% difference in pot equity conceals the implied profit: If I had to go heads up against a range like AA-JJ, I would pay twice or three times as much preflop with 87s than I would with 87o, significantly more than the 5% difference when you talk about face-up all in equity.

So you just play by absolute showdown equity? You don't think implied odds are an important part of NL (or LHE, for that matter)?

I absolutly consider implied odds. But implied odds post flop are a completely different story than implied odds preflop. Therefore, I don't over value suited cards preflop. I would go out of my way to play with someone who over values the implied odds of playing 2 suited cards preflop! So will you please invite me to your game? I'm asking nicely!

If you don't play suited connectors more often than unsuited connectors you won't be able to afford the gas needed to drive to his game.

I didn't see where he stated that he overvalued suited cards, just that he plays them more often.
