Pocket suited? Means nothing, sucker!

6 percent (about 1-in-20): Percentage of time that five community cards will give pocket suited cards a flush


Suited cards should just be ignored.
Everyone here knows this, just saying ....

The only time it should matter is if you stayed in with pocket suited b/c of their values (like 8d 9d or Ac Kc)
and then you manage to flop 2 more suited cards ....THEN... you might pay attention to suits...


35 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll make a flush on the turn or river if you have four cards to a flush after the flop

Ouch... only 1-20! This is good stuff to keep in the ol' noggin

Another exception would be if you have a sooooooooooted poc pair, but everyone here knows that.

Durrrr. No just kidding. Thanks for the info!

i agree it means almost nothing. the extra 6 percent is worth limping value (but not with huge blinds in an mtt). like an 89 off in i will not even limp, but 89s i will

Theres value in these suited hands. Because almost all players on Stars play all kinds of suited trash They love it ! And thats ok for me.

Some will never learn

No limit if your flush hits and you don't have the nut Ace, you stand to lose your whole stack. If the board has four of a suit, you are also risking your stack against the single Ace-rag. Good for drawing min bets or double blinds, but beyond that you need to fold.

I feel like in my past I have expected this suited connector thing to work out a lot more than it ever has. Sometimes I can't resist a hand like J 10s

It has been a big leak in my game because limping I am bound to face raises and I am pretty hell bent on not calling them OOP with hands like this.

There are more ways to make the straight with connectors too... I guess only late position ever so that I can at least make decisions the rest of the way with a little bit more information.
