get out. you have the idiot end of the straight. playing this to the bitter end will make you feel really stupid, I promise. I've been there.

Raise the flop more, 2.5 is good.
Turn is a fold, any 9 or spade just got there and you only beat a bluff now.

This is why small suited connectors are worse than they look and should be adjusted based on it. You lose a few outs even if you do flop a draw just by the mere fact two flush cards come or you end up with an ignorant end of a straight by the river.

Uhm no. Only if you overplay them.

Which is what I pretty much said except with a bit of detail for those who are new to the NL/PL games. This is a microlimit forum and I don't expect many here to be an expert and understand what overplaying means.

Well, you can wreck every hand if you overplay it. So your point is pretty generic. What is true though is that you shouldn't fall too much for easily dominated straights and flushes.
