I was thinking more along the lines of:

With suited connectors, we hope for one of two things: to flop a draw or a combo hand against an overpair, or to flop a pair on a low card board against hands like KQ that caught air.

In either instance, the flop is the critical point in the hand, and pot control is essential. If we have to bluff, we prefer the flop as we have better odds of making our hand and more fold equity.

If that's our plan, where did things start going awry?
