Although its great to change things up and play certain hole cards differently, there are certain types of poker hands that should not be played. To be fair, it all determines the situation that is present at that very moment, all the time I hear my friends telling me bad beat stories where there set of dueces were rvered by a straight, flush, or whatever for that matter.

The point I am trying to emphasize is: play a solid hand at a solid time, this also goes for the vice vesa. You can play a weak hand (Suited connecters or low pairs) when the action or environment is weak. Here are some examples of hands in which this article directly refers to:

Friend A: Bad position looks down at 2-2 and contemplates a call. 2 raises in front of him; to call he has to commit 300 preflop.  In hope of hitting a set, Friend A calls. (THIS IS THE FIRST MISTAKE).

8:1 odds are not better than 4:1 on your money.

The flop comes Q-J-2

FRIEND A- checks his set; a play that is a little risky with this many poker players in the pot anyway. I would of preferred him to take it down (ALL-IN right there). 

It gets checked around, yes very odd since all the preflop raises. The turn comes a 10.  FRIEND A now bets out and is instandly pushed all in. He is called by A-K, the villian shows a straight and my freind a is out.

Freind A is cursing his luck, he screams, curses and even pouts. I try and tell him he shouldnt of called that preflop raise anyway. Not to mention after getting lucky, checking his set. 

My point here is to tell you not to play a "big pot unless you have a big hand" Quoting J.Juanda, but moreover, to play proper hands at proper moments. Don´t get crazy with suited connectors either.
