Say you have 2 cards of the same suit one being an ace & then there are 2 cards of the same suite come up on the flop.

Meaning you have 4 cards of the same suit, one of them being the ace which you have exclusively.

Is it reasonable to go all in at this point? Being you still have 2 cards to come.

I have been & I have done OK with it, in that most of the time, everyone folds & occasionally when they do not, I get the extra card I need.

On a side note, I do think when you hold 2 cards of the same suit & all 5 community cards come up as the same suit so you have 7 cards of the same suit then there should be some sort of bonus prize awarded, just a thought.:D

Are you saying if you have :ah4: :3h4: on a board of :jh4: :kh4: :4c4: is it ok to go all in?

It depends. What your stack size is, what your image is, what your opponents image is. There are WAY to many variables for this to be a "do or don't" situation.

Yeah that's what I meant, I have been using it as a straight rule regardless of stack size or any other variable.

When i started playing poker a few years back then i only played cash games live this i what i used to do. Whenever i have such a hand - suited ace and i get 2 cards on the flop of the same suit i went all in or bet pot all the way.

I vividly remember one hand. 4 players were in the pot - 200 $ buyin - i had around 600 $. I check raised all in against 3 players on my flush draw on the turn - the pot already had around 300 $. The guy to my immediate left folded his smaller flush draw, the guy whom i check raised called with top set and the last guy got out of the way. The river boom i hit my flush beat his 3 Aces. :eek:

I have to admit i was lucky to win a lot of these hands however the approach was risky and i don't do it very often now as i can lose my entire stack if i miss. It's good to know that you have been doing okay with this amateur strategy as well. I know what it feels like - feels great. But experience might change this for you too. Don't apply this in tournaments unless you are short. I wouldn't recommend doing it regularly in cash games as well. :)

There will come a time when opponent holds a decent hand like a set and he will

call you.

Is better to make a acceptable bet post flop, but don't go all-in. You can have the surprize to see a bad turn and river which will make you cry! :)) Take it step by step and you will win, don't go all-in too fast.
