And the always add the old saying "If you wouldnt play it unsuited, you shouldn't play it suited...etc, etc"
Maybe its because I dont have a pair of cajones, but I would always be worried about my 8 kicker to the flush is no good. So why do you see suited as good and unsuited as garbage?
Just trying to understand this concept. Thanks in advance!
Suited adds more to the value of the hand when:
1. There are a less people in the pot. That means less boats, less people with suited cards bigger than yours.
2. You're heads up with someone with a big pair. Then when you hit your flush, your opponent doesn't have it.
3. Against very loose opponents who will call with any two suited cards sometimes your flush is best
Against tough opponents the value decreases.
