Im not saying you should stop. Im just saying you should see how your profitability compares when the flop is 2 suited to when the flop is rainbow. It will be difficult to filter because it is player dependant.

e.g. against a tight player (who could be sethunting but wont calls with Ax or KJs) then ill cbet a flop of A53 2 suited.

Against someone who will call down with any flush draw, any A and J5 im just going to give up while the pot is small and wait until i have AQ on the same flop to value bet him dead.

It might be that cbetting on 2 flush flops is unprofitable, or it might be that cbetting on low card flops is unprofitable, or cbetting A high flops is unprofitable. You will have to look through your stats to find out.

I suspect that against tight players it is more profitable to cbet A high flops than low card flops (because they expect you to have hit), whereas against loose players it is more profitable to cbet low flops than A high flops (because they could have Ax and dont care what you have). This is just something ive been thinking about lately. Havnt gone through the hands yet but its something to think about. Tight players are generally less likely to call preflop with 2 suited cards than say... a low PP, whereas fairly loose (and bad) players are probably more likely to have something like KJs than 22.
