Having the other players in the pot really boosts the relative equity of the low suited connectors.

1. In MW pots I am more likely to call with a wider range of suited cards compared to broadways that are easily dominated. For example, a TAG opens UTG and the 24/20 CO calls. So long as I don't have crazy squeezers in the blinds I'm definitely calling 43s. Would I call KTo? Probably not, if the original opener does not cbet often then it increases the frequency that I would call with this hand.

2.Tomaioc said it right, it depends on the button. By calling before the button we give him (and subsequently the blinds) great odds to call, so I'd want a hand that can hit strong, i.e. suited connectors, low-mid PP's etc. I'd be wary of calling 76o as it just didn't win enough money and this isn't considering all of the possible 3bets you would have to fold.

3. I don't know, I only play 100bb.

Just my two cents.

I just picked 76s out of the blue as a low suited connector.
If you go much higher, it gets more and more likely you are going to be dominated.

Also, in a book by Doyle Brunson, he says he liked 7:d6:d to play vs tight players.
On low flops that hand is never far from hitting something. I don't play it much myself.
Besides, you need a 5 or a T to make a straight -- so it is good if you already have it in your hand.

I always notice, though when it would have hit the flop.
I notice J8o, too. It is totally surprising how many times that hand seems to hit flops.

it doesn't, of course -- I just notice. No idea why.

#3: Agreed. Never play w/ less than 100BB

76s is a super easy call, 76o is not the same though.

You are quite correct.
There was a typo in the piece you quoted.
I'll go back and fix the original.

Thanks for noticing.
