Suited connectors are one more arrow in the poker play's quiver. This is important, as when you play a variety of hands, you become somewhat less easy to read.
They certainly play best at the earlier stages of tourneys. Here, more people will call a hand making a draw more profitable. A few admonitions: playing very low ones gives you the potential for only a weak flush. Also, any pairs you might make are necessarily low; so suited connectors are not all equal.
As the tourney progresses and raises get larger and less people are in hands, the suited connectors lose value as the draws now become unprofitable. This is all the more accentuated when a table becomes shorthanded or if you are playing at a table of 6.
