Very well stated. Since all suited connectors have 22 outs associated with them pre-flop, this count goes down dramatically after the flop if your suit is missing. Then, if you're sitting with a four card straight, you only have an 18% of hitting it.
And I assure you, we have all fold a straight flush because of our board position.
