People will tell ya that over time luck will even out and stuff, but in reality, variance can cause a huge imbalance on a certain side.

That said, has there been a suit that has been particularly lucky for you?

For me, I love clubs and diamonds and hate hearts and spades. Nothing rational about this, but it's just so happened that clubs and diamonds have been kind to me by chance while the opposite is true of the other two suits.

Looking at my hand history in fact, two of my biggest pots ever won were won with low suited club connectors. 45 and 67 of clubs. All of my other top pots were won with AA, KK, or pocket pairs that hit sets.

The first lucky hand I raised with 45 of clubs from the button (I hadn't seen a flop in a while so I thought the blinds would respect my raise) and got called by BB. Flop's 68J of clubs. Flopped a flush. I bet big since I was vulnerable to a hand with one higher club. He calls. 7d hits on the turn, and he leads out with a pot size bet. I shoved it. He calls and flips over 78 offsuit.

My biggest pot ever was won with 67 of clubs. I had it on BB, and would have folded preflop if there was a raise but all limpers. I flopped two pairs but little did I know UTG flopped a flush and BTN flopped a lower two pairs 64. UTG slowplayed his J high flush, only calling my raises, and I ended up hitting a 6 on the river and tripled up over the flush and the smaller FH.

Spades and hearts though have killed me far more than the other two suits in terms of flush draws hitting.

I like clubs and diamonds too but because they're green and blue online (I use the 4 coloured deck). They just look cool so they must hit more often.

Mind you, anything that you'd consider playing anyway looks good when it's suited.


FWIW, results do converge (not "even out" but it has the same effect).

I know some people have certain hands they are particularly fond of, be it 89su, J9su, certain pocket pairs, etc;

But I don't think I've heard this before, that someone doesn't like a particular suit! IMHO - this is just major superstition, nothing more.

Right, it’s nothing but variance, but that doesn’t mean one or two particular suits can’t be unusually lucky or unlucky for someone.

Actually, it means exactly that. There is no luck as a continuing phenominon. If you're on the plus side of variance, we call that "luck", but yesterday's luck does not portend tomorrow's.

Ok, I think maybe the point of my original post was misunderstood. I am asking if any suits have been particularly lucky—as in past occurrence. I am not suggesting anyone should play the same hand of different suits differently because one suit has been lucky while the other hasn’t. Or if the past “luck” will continue. It’s just a trivial thing that is kind of interesting to me. I just wonder if anyone else has had a particular suit be unusually lucky or unlucky like in my case.

re

Dont really know why but clubs seem to fall my way on the board.I have noticed while playing online i catch more club draws than any other suit im dealt.Needless to say i don't always win those pots with a flush draw but clubs seem to fall for me more often than not.

Some reason i like spades and hearts. dont know why but they seem to stick out and look better than clubs and diamonds...maybe its just the card mod i have that makes them look so badass.
