How aften do you call raises with suited cards? It seems to happen quite a bit online but maybe I am wrong. The problem I have is that it keeps costing me my whole stack in tourneys. Yesterday I had QQ lose to 10 8 s when they flopped a flush draw on a paired board then turned a straight draw I pushed all in and they called and rivered the flush. I think my problem is I rarely seem to hit my draws when I call but often it goes agaisnt me when I push all in front.

Depends on the raise, the odds, your chipstack and the opponent...
Just remember that you hit your flushdraw just one out of three times.
And if your opponent has got the better flush you will loose probably all your chips....

In most cases I usually will not call a raise in NLH with suitied connectors. I will just fold and wait for better hand. I have found that in the long run I just loose money with them. I may raise with them if in late position and 1st in trying to steal...but rarely wont call a raise with them.

Fold unless you are short handed or if the original raiser is raising just about anything(with exception to the amount of the raise.

By the way, did you know you double posted this thread?

it depends.. suited cards can be AK, QJ, with those cards and if there arent mant callers i sometimes call, however its very important the stack, and the player who makes the raise, cause if he is very tight, i dont even think of calling with a low suited connectors like 78...

It sucks to get sucked out on. Raise at least 4xbb pf and play the flop conservatively if a flush or a draw is possible. If someone makes a bad call and you lose try to shrug it off as next time you'll hopefully take their chips with the over pair.

The fact that you have suited cards only raises your chances by 4%. Now if they're big cards then I would play them fast, but if you're betting big on a J 4 preflop just because they're suited you might want to reconsider.
