In general this is pretty incorrect advice.

QFT.

I love suited connectors, but there are so many variables, that I cannot make a specific statement regarding with which hands I would limp. Generally, I try not to get sucked into too many hands out of position unless I'm at a very weak table and know that they can be outplayed postflop.

Re-iterate this point ...

supafrey limps with those hands because he is a good post flop player and knows when hes beat/knows how strong his opponents are/knows how to extract value when he hits with those types of hands.

In full ring play (9 or 10 players) you should really only be limping with medium and/or low pocket pairs, suited connectors, and you should be raising with your premium hands. That will help you get used to playing at the lower limits.

Once your postflop skills improve you can start loosening up your ranges.

In short handed games, you should almost NEVER limp, always raise or fold when you OPEN the pot (nobody except the blinds in before you).
