Most high stakes players consider the value of SC's not so much in the ability of these hands to make nut crakers, but in the fact that when you add these hands into your standard raises from all positions, it makes it much more difficult for villains to put you on a hand range...

Thus your big hands get:

A: More action vs thinking opponents, since a raise UTG is no longer AJs+,AQo,+TT+, thus they will often be willing to 3-bet you with worse holdings in pos.

B: Thinking villains also have a much harder time putting you on a hand, making them have to play more marginal spots vs you, for ex

you hold KK and open for a standard raise UTG

Standard Tag flat calls from the CO with 99.

Flop comes all under cards and you lead for 3/4 pot.

If villain can put you on a pretty specific hand range, he is able to get away from this hand fairly easily here, even in no overcards come on the turn or river, but when you add SC's here, our hand range becomes much wider, thus villain is forced to play a marginal hand here in a situation that could put his stack in play.

Boosted J did an article for bluff I believe, about his theory of JBucks, and the value that SC's add to your game by raising them from all positions....don't have the link, but look it up and print it out and then spend a couple of days digesting it, it will really open your eyes to some things that can make a huge difference in your game at higher levels.
