What is Suited in Poker?

In poker, 'Suited' refers to two or more cards of the same suit. For example, if a player is dealt two cards that are both hearts, they are said to have suited cards. Suited cards have the potential to make a flush, which is a strong hand in poker.

Understanding Suited

Having suited cards can increase the potential strength of a player's hand, especially if the cards are also connected in rank (for example, a 9 and 10 of hearts). The likelihood of making a flush with suited cards is still relatively low, but it is a possibility that players consider when evaluating their starting hands.

Suited in Poker

In Texas Hold'em, a player's starting hand is suited around 24% of the time. While having suited cards can be an advantage, it's important to also consider other factors, like the ranks of the cards and the player's position at the table.

Example of "Suited"

For instance, if a player is dealt a 7 and 8 of clubs, they have suited cards.

• "He was dealt suited cards, giving him the potential to make a flush."
• "With suited connectors, she decided to call the bet."
• "Despite having suited cards, he didn't hit his flush and decided to fold."
