Can anybody tell me where I might find the preflop odds of suited connectors improving to a flush, straight, or better by the river? Thanks

Question is irrelevant, imo.

As a deep stack, what matters is the odds of flopping something you can keep on playing on later streets.

As a short stack where preflop odds to the river are relevant, you should not be playing suited connectors anyway.

fwiw, most people are going to yell at you for playing your cards because they're suited. It is true that suited cards only add about 2% equity pre, but they are much more playable postflop. The final decision is with you about where and when to play them.

Your odds of hitting a flush on the flop with two suited connectors are 118-1. Your odds of your suited cards holding against any other two cards heads up and all in depend on the two cards and your opponents two cards.

Very seriously: who cares? you should not.

Very seriously: since you shortstack, you should not be playing them

Very seriously: especially when you play like this

turning a flush and managing not to get villain's entire stack when he flops a set while playing 17bb deep is probably the worst played hand i've seen this year.

Your odds of flopping a flush with suited connectors are around 119-1. Hitting a flush draw (i.e. 2 of the same suited cards) on the flop are around 10-1. If you hit the flush draw your odds of hitting on either the River or Turn are around 2.9-1. I hope this helps.

rule of 4 and 2

Use the rule of 4 and 2 to give you an approximate idea of your odds of hitting a hand by the turn and river. So if you hit a flush draw on the flop you have a maximum of 9 outs to make your hand, multiply 9 by 4 and you have 36% chance of making your hand by the river, now if you miss on the turn multiply your outs by 2, 18% to hit hand by the river, this will let you know approximately what your odds are in both situations.

The oods are already posted and I agree with others n this matter. Igt depends on the stack ur holdin wether u should even be in the hand in the first place. And if ur lookin for more oods with different hands google or any other search engine for that matter should lead u to what ur lookin for.

preflop play

odds of flopping a flush draw preflop 8.1/1, Flopping a set or better (with a pocket pair) - 7.5/1 (11.8%) so you can see why you need an unraised pot with many callers in late position is the only way to play suited connectors and small pockets.

i like cardplayers calculator for holdem and omaha... check that out... but suited connectors are the best for limping in or when you put two of the opponents on high connectors! any low flop you can take pretty easily!

It's incredible how ignorant these posts are, and clear that most people don't understand basic probability. The pre-flop chance of hitting a flush is the sole reason you are supposed to shove many suited cards but fold their unsuited counterparts. This is because the opponent's calling range is quite strong and suited cards have the additional equity from being able to hit a flush. You have to quantify this equity to be able to make the right decision preflop.

Suppose we have 2 clubs. You need at least 3 clubs out of the 5 community cards, and there are 11 clubs remaining. We can break this out into 3 scenarios:

Chance of 3 clubs: (11/50)*(10/49)*(9/48)*(39/47)*(38/46)*10
Chance of 4 clubs: (11/50)*(10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(39/46)*5
Chance of 5 clubs: (11/50)*(10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46)


Add these up and you get ~6.4%. It's possible I made some mistakes, if anyone wants to check the math.
