I love playing suited cards even if they're not connector cards because I have had awesome results with them. The only problem is that I usually get cussed out by my opponents when my suited hole cards beat their high pocket pair or their straight, etc. I see the pro's play suited cards ALL the time atleast to the flop if pre-flop betting is not unreasonable, so why can't I? Well... I can... and I will! But what's your opinion on it?
They probably cuss you out because you are calling your draw with incorrect odds, but if you want to call with incorrect odds its your money and you can do what you want but in the long run it will catch up on you and will cost you more money than it will gain you. Thats just the way it is, but like I say its your money if they dont like the way you play then they can find another table lol.
GL at the tables
I will call a blind with any suited hand, just to see if it hits.
I also like having the suited connectors because of all the outs I can hit to win.
I can admit i have gotten mad when beaten by a huge underdog or even when someone called with a hand they had no business in specially to river when they had nada on flop and called big bet to hit something on turn and winner on river. Although cant remember when i just know ive done it.Quote:

because it depends how far your willing to go lulla, ive seen you play and i can understand why they get mad if someone has raised a shit load cuz they have a high pocket pair pre or raising post because they have hit a straight and you are still calling with nothing but a draw then of course they are gunna be pissed, however 80% of the time (rough estimate no odds used) you will pay off your opponent so carry on calling your draws to the river we all need donks much as i hate them
seem to be key for me in cashgamesQuote:

Well, its all about outs and odds, so if you pay the correct price for drawing.
dont be surprised when (9 handed) if 1 card flushes crushes you for a month. Or (imagine if merge ran normal) the player with Nut flush slow rolls your stack on you. Playing for a perfect 3 card flush board isnt good - 4th card lands a higher flush - 2 cards your stranded with 8 high lol.
Very well put. I was going to post something similar, till I read yours.Quote:

I like playing suited cards also. But to have the straight covered, I only like to play them when they are connectors, ie. 78s, 89s, 23s, KQs and when they are only one number apart from each each other, ie 79s 24s, 35s, AQs.
Pros play these hands because they can read and outplay people post-flop when they don't hit. Your reasoning is extremely results oriented. A suited hand is roughly 4% better than an unsuited version of the same hand. You will rarely flop a flush, and even when you do, you can get sucked out on by a player holding a higher card in your suit, run into a higher flopped flush, boats if the board pairs, etc. Overall you will just lose money, and if you are limp-calling these hands out of position you will lose even more.
Was going to offer my opinion on this but then I read tyler's response and thought I'd just bump that instead. Everyone read what he wrote. This will improve your poker IQ by at least 100.Quote:

I played you, you're very tight so they just don't expect you to win at all.
I don't play suited that much in NL, but I play my draws all day in PLO and get plenty of haters... so I know where you're coming from! But I'm not gonna stop, cause I'm playing FRs and making money!
Obviously suited cards are a good bet to at least see a flop if the bets are reasonable, and as far as an opponent cussing you out when you hit and win. Well F-them is the way I see it.
A win is a win. JustSayn.........................
If i need chips ill play sooooooooooted anything, hell ill play anything if i have to. JustSayn.............
I like suited connectors or one off.
ofcourse they will h8 u , when u win AA with 67 suited , u will obviously get thrashed ,
Suited cards look pretty, I may limp in and see a flop. If you are calling raises with them, you will more often than not, go broke.
I don't know why people have such a love affair with suited cards. Your odds don't even go up a whole 2% (pre flop) when your hole cards are suited. As several people have stated it is highly unlikely that the majority of the time you are getting correct odds to call your draws or your pre flop suited cards. i can completely understand why people would loath you.
At the same time as also stated above we need donkeys or none of us would make money.
I hate getting stung by a bee or when they chase me around at a picnic but I sure do love the honey they make. Anyway please keep playing your low odds suited cards and make your way to a table I'm at sometime. Next time someone is complaining about your play just tell them they must not be a real poker player because if they were they would be thanking the poker gods for a donkey as big as you or the other people that replied and stated their passion for suited garbage.
You should dont care about these people and what they are sayin.. They are just angry after losing pot with strong hand.. its absolutely normal to play suited cards more often.. I like more to play 810 suited than K7 or Q8 off suited...
i agree weenie i like middle contetors better
i have found that playing suited cards is like tossing money out the window of a moving car and seeing if it there when you get to your destination .not very often is it there
You go girl...Is that your real pic???
each has a style of play but falls puez muchaz vecez zi and gan a good well
lol, when you win they are going to hate you no matter. Don't let em act like they have never done the same. JustSayn...............
I think everyones just about covered everything there is to say about this topic. So not much to say except i love ppl that watch poker on tv n try to play like ppl thatve put in 10s of thousands of hands in in their life. So keep on playin em, ill be stacking ur chips soon.
me too all the time there is a nasty comment
i love playing suited cards thats mostly how i play and i loved to bust poeple wit them and i love when they got like hi pocket cards and i flop the flush i check or brt half the pot and they go all in my face lighs up lik bulb theybs pised at me its to funny and to make them more mad if they talking junk i just type in whos your daddy that make thems mad lol.
Sometimes the other player gets mad but they forgot to raise enough or tried to slow play their hand on you. Then you scratch your head cause they are so mad for trying to get greedy and slow play there ' great ' hand. I really liked the last post... in time that can happen to you a lot. You have a lot invested in a hand to get the 4th card to a suit and then you're stuck. Paying 10's of thousands of hands will be your answer.
All kinds of hands must be played.
Played suited 79 from the BB, with caller in the SB. Flop came A,Q,rag. He checks, I check. & comes on the turn, he min bets, I call. Another 7 comes on the river, he bets 2x the min raise, I push all in, he calls. That put him out of the game. He called me a donk for playing a hand like that. You have to play all kinds of hands to win in the end.
If he did have a ace or even the queen he should have made a bet on the flop. Since he didnt he screwed himself over IMO
ehh
i dont like em unless i got the ace or king i dont like drawing unless its to the nuts. gs though
eh I play suited cards too. As well as low connectors. It's my time and money, I'll do what I want! ;)
