There are three possibilities for the flop. All the same cards, two cards the same and all three different. A study has shown that the probability of them being all different is 41%, that two will be the same is 55% and all three being the same is 4%. (This surprised me, as I expected all three cards to be different to be higher that two the same). If you do get suited hole cards, unless they are high suited connectors, you're better folding. If the flop misses all three and there are two cards the same as your hole cards, you still have odds of 4/1 against making your flush.

i like to play suited connectors, but if you play against agressive and experienced players they will push you against your draw and in a long-time viewing it will be deficit

Don't worry about being pushed. The size of the bet made against you is irrelevant, what matters is the pot odds. If you hold a flush draw and your odds are 4/1 or better stay in the pot.

love playing suited cards, connectors even better. It takes a lot to get me to fold them and if there is a chance for a str8 flush, even harder to fold. Only ones I don't care for much are the suited Ace with a really tiny kicker. If you miss the flush your odds are bad on the kicker.

It happens that all cards of the flop be in different colors. In my case, it is more likely that I get full than flush.

If you do get suited hole cards, unless they are high suited connectors, you're better folding best off playing them in a manner that takes into account your position, opponents, stack sizes, game stage and other relevant factors.

FYP ;)

A better way of looking at this is that suited hole cards are only slightly more valuable than the same rank unsuited cards. Play them with that in mind and according to the situation you find yourself in, not some arbitrary rule.

What determines whether or not I play is the pot size and the size of the bet I have to make. You will have odds of 4/1 to make your flush if the flop is kind to you. Would you play 6 2 suited in any position? I wouldn't

Would you play 6 2 suited in any position?

The correct answer, as it is for basically all situations in poker, is "it depends".

I can't see myself playing it in many situations, but saying you'd never play 62s in any position is thinking about the game wrong IMO.

If you have already four of your five cards for your flush on the flop.
Isn't the chance of getting your flush close to 50%?

Sorry but no. There are 47 cards left after the flop, 9 are good and 38 are bad for you, so the odds of making the flush are (47 - 9)/9 =38/9 or 4.2/1. If you don't hit on the turn the odds of making a flush on the river are 37/9 or 4.1/1 (there are now 46 unknown cards).
