if you're not a serious postflop expert, don't go messing around with suited connectors or other speculative hands at this table. You'll CONSTANTLY be making weak made hands and tempting draws that can be really tricky to play with all the action going on.

Small pairs are speculative hands. Small pairs can certainly be profitable to a novice in loose games, if stacks are deep enough and if the preflop action isn't too wild.
