In general your analysis is very usefull in illustrating, how we need to think about the different streets. But preflop you miss the crucial point, that Hero was not closing the action. It was a min-raise, and BB should defend to that the vast majority of the time. So BB folding was a dream situation, which wont happen very often at all. And this totally change the math, because if BB call, now we need to calculate our equity against not one but two ranges, and if BB 3-bets, we need to fold.

The other issue is, that we are always going to underrealise equity out of position against a stronger range, because future betting does not work in our favour. Which I actually think, this hand illustrate. We ended up making trips in a hand, where the turn got checked through, but we still found ourselfes in a bluff catching situation on the river. Which basically highlight the fact, that when are we really happy with our small suited connector, except when we flop the nut straight or something? They really are some of the most overvalued hands in poker. They look so pretty, but the hard reality is, most people would see better results, if they played them less frequently.
