Do you play suited hands?

[KRANKES]

I just checked my database and out of the last 100k hands, I was dealt 57k times suited cards. As there are 4 suits, the statistical value should be around 25%, so I see here a clear evidence, that online poker is juiced up to get more (new) players into the pot and drawing till the last card most of the time. The obvious result is, that our beloved aces and Kings will get bursted more than double the time as usual (supposing lots of new players play ALL suited hands).

My question is: Do you have similar results in your statistics?

I also think that there are a lot of flushes in the online game, that's why we should play with suited hands, especially with an A or K

 

[mclay]

Thanks for the interesting information, I also observe such a trend that people start to enter hands more often with almost any suited hands.

 

[Risto234]

There isnt even a solid excuse to NOT play them therefore ...

 

[JappsPK]

Yea sure. Better when is high cards. 76s, 98s, T9s, TJs, is not always good.

 

[airxlns]

They are good hands to be played, but I do not like to commit too much before the flop is shown.

Ok, my research goes deeper. As I usually play only Axs, Kxs and some of the suited connectors, I played 17k of my 57k hands (including unraised BB). Win loss is almost 50/50. The interesting part is, that I had 50% of my 17k hands connected on the flop to 2 suits I needed, and made to get more or less 880 Flushes!!!!!(which is more around 5% than to 10 % as it should be. I will not start to talk about made flushes, that lose to Boats or Quads or better flushes

Edith: Forget about the last part, 880 is 10% of the 8.5k flush draws

I almost always play hands of the same suit, especially 67, 98, 10j, Ax, Kx. But I throw away cards like 32, 45, 53, because they rarely realize themselves on the flop.

 

[Gallarado777]

a large number of people play the same suit cards, which leads people to flushes and sometimes even for both players it and one of them loses thinking he's older

If you still managed to get two cards of the same suit, then this is great luck. After all, you can get cards in your hand, especially of the same suit, with a chance of about four percent. But if luck smiled, do not rush to give out your emotions. Subsequently, there is a chance to collect great combinations, such as a straight, and later there may be a flush. Precisely due to the fact that with the help of such cards in your hands you can collect strong combinations. Later there is a chance to pick up the jackpot. It is on the flop that the very moment may appear to collect a straight and a flush.

I do not always play them, but often play with connecting suited hands.
With them there are several options to create a good combination.
Of course, these may have the disadvantage, for e.g. if you have a 4s5s and you have flush, you can easily be seduced and fall big against a bigger flush. But for example, a 10sJs or QsJs starting hand is hard to resist.

 

[VVi10]

Of course. For me it’s the best hands to play because you increase your chances to win even more if it’s connected cards

 

[pavel1111111]

of course , you have bigger chane to catch a flush

 

[RustyRed83]

Much depends on me, many suited cards are certainly in my range. But it really depends on stack size, how the table is playing and how my mood is. They certainly look pretty when dealt. But i feel chasing flush draws when the pot odds are not in your favour, is a losing play in the long run.

 

[valen.bs.95]

Depends on the strength of the hand and on my position at the table

 

[BOXING71]

I like to open these cards. If there is a flush, you are almost guaranteed to take all the winnings. Yes, there is a higher flush, but this is rare.

 

[dregan]

I play the same suit but not all cards. It makes no sense to play on a small map because you can lose to another flash. I haven't seen my story yet.

 

[arshuns]

If there are no big bets, then any match card is good. Otherwise, it's better if they are also connectors. In general, it doesn't get better than AA.

 

[nachopaulo19]

I even try, but I never get a flush. My opponents, on the other hand, seem to be very lucky, because they play with luck even though they go all-in and most of the time they get it right.

 

[hobojim1247]

Of course I play suited hands. Playing suited hands increases your chances of winning by 4%,so if the situation and game favors playing them I will do so . And I will win with them 4% more often than if they were unsuited. It is all math folks, aligorical experiences not withstanding.

 

[lyki67]

Yes, I play suited cards and especially suited connectors. But I play this pocket cards only if I can pay small bets to see flop.

 

[iveta777]

i always play suited conectors like 56-89 or something its a great hand for make flysh or straight

 

[daniel888]

I like suited hands, especially suited connectors. With these hands we can surprise the opponents or put pressure on them.

 

[COMIRRR]

In many comments I argued that the game of poker is not only played with strong hands, most of the time any other combination of cards wins

 

[78mariusz]

It depends on the phase of the tournament. In the early phase I play often connectors from 9/10s up. In the middle phase I'm in with connectors 5+ and one-gap suited connectors. BTW you need to remember that it also depends on your position and raises of previous players. In the late phase all connectors
