This is probably off topic, but here I go anyway:

Maybe this is just me, but can something like KQs really be considered a suited "connector". To me, the value of connectors has always been the straight possbilities. Something like JT gives you 4 possible straights using both your cards (jack high through A high). With KQ, you can only make two straights using both cards (K high and A high), which to me really takes away it's value of being "connectors".

Don't get me wrong, KQ's top pair potential more than makes up for the straight possibility value, but is it really fair to call them "connectors" in the sense as something that can make more straights?
