it doesnt matter whether you play suited connectors online or in person, the reason you play them in the first place is to catch an unlikely flop and get a lot of value out of a little investment. the 'suited connector theory' is based on the math that says how often you will catch a monster flop to break a monster hand. statistics dont change from online to live play, so neither should your play. even if people do play 'anything suited' online, you probably arent going to run into a higher flush or flush draw with suited connects, and you're looking to hit a straight or 2 pair or something like that on the flop anyway. making a flush with low suited connectors isnt very profitable unless you're heads up and you put your opponent on a monster hand, like 2 pair, a set, or a straight. suited connectors being suited isnt what makes them so great; its just another draw to fall back on if you dont hit the flop.
