5 10 suited good starting hand or not?

A freind of mine keeps telling me to play the 5 10 suited preflop. I just have a problem playing this hand. But I am always looking to learn new tricks. If it is a good hand can you explain why.

Never a good hand to play, unless ur in the bigblind and 5/10 flops.

Lol... I would never play that hand preflop... Does your friend know much or like playing you around?

Well, you can't make a straight without either a 5 or a 10. lol. seriously, what do you hope to accomplish by playing 5,10 suited?

LOL! Maybe.

Seriously, please play that hand as much as you can and please come sit at my tables. I'm chiefer77 every where!

your friend is an idiot. That is all.

as good as 5 10 suited is...i think u should also try to fit in some more 8 2 suited...that hand is golden on everysite!!!

Lol 72 suited is even better

10 5 sooted is good because of the straight thing chiefer mentioned but the problem is that it can only make 1 flush. 10 5 offsuit can make all the same straights and twice the flushes! Now that's the shit!

(1) does this friend play online and
(2) what's his sn / what site is he on

Don't listen to your buddy.

Not a good hand at all but you can play it sometimes from the button, and from the small blind. In the big blind just check or very rarely call a raise, depending on stack sizes and your knowledge of the raiser.

Not a chance unless you're trying to go broke,,,lol
Take care

I love that line! I play with a guy who abides strictly by that rule and just bite my tongue when he spews that logic.

you have quad potential too. you're all forgetting that

your friend is talking absolute rubbish

he may have got lucky with it once

its one of the worse starting hands to play

I can get 5 10 suited to work under certain circumstances:
1) You have an EXTREMELY good read on the person you are making a move on.
2) This is for stealing purposes only.
3) Nobody else has entered the pot
4) I must be on the button
5) I know the SB and BB are extremely soft and I have been stealing from them many, many times so I know they are gonna fold.

If you do NOT meet conditions 1-5, then throw it away.

Does your buddy play on Full Tilt? If so, under what name?

NOT! I think I would take a pass 100% of the time I get these two cards. Auto fold on this end!

Don't listen to the others here. Any 2 suited cards is real power. 10-5, 8-3, it doesn't matter. Keep playing them. Now, where did you say your friend plays at?

Can't believe you even asked that question......mind you...that being said, I am sure I would have more luck with it then I would AA!!!!!

dude! you can so hit a royal flush with that 10...and its suited so that's bonus! i have shoved all-in with many a T5s...and a T5o...or 23s...or any other 2 cards that can be dealt...they're all good cards *sometimes* ...i lost in a game tonight when i shoved JJ...i was like WTF! i wanted my jokers to be aces! bah!

Well of course you do. AA is just a 2 outer 3 of a kind draw. 5/10 suited is a double pair draw (6 outs) plus 11 flush outs. I'll take a 17 outer over a 2 outer any day.
