5 cards of the same suit is called a flush.

When ou have 2 hole cards of the same suit it's just called suited cards.

Ace and anything suited (Axs) is strong-ish, but not something you want to play from early position.

Kxs is in the same boat, but there are times that I will throw either away, even from middle or late position.

I just what I'm saying is It All Depends.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

it depends on how loose the table is or how they are playing

When two cards have matching suits we call them suited.

It's denoted as ATs or 67s. Offsuit hands are the opposite. Like AKo or T8o.

Do not play any suited hand. Flushes are difficult to get paid off and expensive to chase. Not to mention a longshot before the flop is dealt. Those suitedness adds value to previously strong hands like KQs or AJs. You should continue to fold low cards like 83 reguardless of suit.

Thanks ...
have some terminology to learn still...

this helps me to play better, thanks. The thing is - at low limit tables you see a lot of people playing stuff like J8s, and win, so therefor I questioned myself and that I only try to play cards from top 2 classes suggested at this site, and sometimes from class 3 ...

Thanks

EDIT: reviewed the classes, I play class 1,2,3 regularly...

 at low limit tables you see all kinds of shitty hands win. but just because some idiot catches a running two pair with 74 offsuit does not mean he is playing correctly or profitably.

what you probably are not seeing (because they muck their hands) is that people lose BIG with J8s when they hit their flush and get into a raising war vs the nut flush.

There are many, many posts all over this forum about limiting one's starting hand selections and seeing 30, 25, 20 percent of flops...and this is one of the easiest ways to comply.

Everyone knows 7-2 is feces.

7-2 suited is just suited feces.

Reduce your hands-played rate AND the amount of money you leak by ditching pocket turds -- regardless of whether they're suited.

I'll keep that image in mind.
And since I play online it is more like virtual feces, thank god...

 One more type of hand which may be profitable to play in loose games is mid to high suited connectors (89s, 9Ts, JTs).
If you can see the flop for cheap and you hit your straight or flush on the flop you can take down a nice pot
