I would think you should only play 67 suited on the button or if half or more of the table has folded. Or I suppose if you are playing with a fairly tight table, a nice raise could also do well. But MOST of the time, as far as I know you will be out of position against players that may not fold to your raise so...For the most part, DO NOT play 67 suited.

i would generally call the blind with this hand if i was raised i would be willing to get about 10 percent of my money in if i was in position just to see a flop since theres so many posibilities with suited conectors

There is also a school of though that 67 suited does very well when you are on small blind even on a full table. The idea is people take the early positions as high hands and they never see a low straight or a low two pair or trips as a possiblity. Also on small blind you can see the size of the table in the game and pot odds for the flush become better. The key to playing 67 suited is not wheather to play it (because it is very playable), but when/how many times to play it. I suggest only play it if you feel you have good pot odds or if you think people are putting you on something different. This comes out to playing it about 30% of the time you get it. So I definitly see it as a weak hand and I will pass it, but sometimes this and similar hands can be unexpected and profitable in short handed and full table.
Note: I never play K 7 offsuited. It is a bad hand. It is barely better than Q 7 offsuited which is the exact middle of all possible starting hands. So to play K 7 off is playing an average hand. Even at shorthanded you must assume that someone has something that is slightly above average or above average if not really good. So your odds with K 7 off will not pay off. The only time I would consider this is in head-to-head with an opponent on tilt that I could milk or buy out which is a special occasion.

From what I understand, the more people who play against you, the better suited connectors are. I'd virtually always see a flop with 67s, as long as I'm not facing a raise and a reraise or in horrible position (early position, out of the blind). Also, if you are in a loose game, I'd raise with 67s out of the blinds. If you get a flush or a straight draw, that's an ideal position to semi-bluff, especially if you are in late position.
I love suited connecters... but that's just me, I suppose.

The reason that suited connectors are better when you have more players is because you get the Pot odds to justify your draw. You never want to be heads up with low suited connectors because the pot just won't get big enough to give you pot odds on the draw.

I just had an extremely depressing hand/accident involving 6 7 suited. Ouch...dont play em.

I always play small suited connectors if I get in for cheap. The thing is, if you make a straight, your gonna clean up.
But after the flop, if nothing came up (if I'm not a least 4 to the straight, I fold.

Unless you think they have a big pair, and they have a lot of chips. Then you can consider 6,7s.
Thats the kind of hand you need to break big pairs, and if you hit your hand, they won't see it coming.

To the original poster, K7o is a trash hand, the only time you should be considering playing this is late in tourneys where king high may be good enough.
In cash games this hand will cost you money in the long run, you're really hoping to hit your 7, and then no overcards, as you can see this is not highly likely.

K7 is absolute crap unless you're playing heads up.
67 suited(or any middle suited connectors) have the best chance of cracking a high pair such as Aces. You've got more straight possibilities than higher cards like KQ. KQ can only make two straights, either Ace high or King high, and going up against pocket Aces, 2 of your outs are already gone. But 67 suited you can make a straight anywhere from 2-6 all the way up to 7-J .
I'm not saying to play every suited connector you get, but don't be so quick to discard them either.

I am an extreme novice, so take this for what it's worth, I loved any suited connectors as long as I get to the flop cheaply.
