Default Hand Analysis Question - Suited One Gappers

I have a question - when using PT to analyze suited one-gappers, I was wondering whether it makes sense to analyze only hands J9s and below (J9s 108s 97s 86s 75s 64s 53s 42s), or whether to include all including the bigger ticket hands in such a review?

My instinct is to not go above J9s, as hands above this are eminently playable and therefore less needed to be scrutinzed. Although I guess all hands must be reviewed.

Any particular thoughts?

I would just focus on hands from T8s down (J9s is okay too I guess).

The problem with including hands like QTs and KJs is that those hands often win by making top pair. 97s and 64s are more or less the same in that you need to make a straight, a flush, trips or two pair to win. KJs is obviously a lot different.

I think of QTs as a suited connector. QTs>J9s>T8s etc. I don't think there's a big jump in the value of these hands. KJs I think is less likely to flop you a draw, but if IP behind a raise I sometimes play it as a drawing hand.

I find that the ability of 97s and T8s to make top pair adds a lot to their value.

Focus on T8s and below. I dont play any thing under 64s though.

yeah, 53s and 42s are losers for me too. everything else is +EV the way I play them (calling in position vs. predictable, weak, or calling station opponents; raising from every position except in the blinds except when there are tough loose players in position on me.)
