in a mid stakes nl holdem game would you rather play suited connectors against a bunch of players or just one? against weak opponents, it seems as though it would be best to play them against a large number of opponents because if you hit your flush/straight your are more likely to get paid off by someone, but the more opponents you are against raises the chances of running into a better flush.
i was just wondering what peoples' ideas on this idea are.

Suited Connectors are like Peanut Butter
The more the better.
Actually what you need to think is that since you are not going to have the best hand often, you need more players to make it profitable. Whereas with AA you are going to win more often than not, unless they catch running 4s, so you need less players.
So Suited Connectors = Peanut Butter
AA = Garlic
JJ = dried prunes soaked in the armpit of a Columbian drug lord after a 10 day binge over losing his wife to one of the back up dancers for Menudo.

Exactly! Never fold any hand, regardless if suited or not because if you hit your hand you can get paid off! Realistically, the chances of hitting your hand are so high.
