Big Suited Connectors
Suited connectors are speculative started hands in Texas Hold ‘Em poker online, with highly ranked cards offering more value. These hands can make straights or flushes, although AK has more limited straight potential since it is closed ended. High suited connectors also have the potential to complete to high pair on the board.
Suited connectors can be weak hands because you need lots of a pot action to create favorable odds to bet them. Highly ranked suited connectors overcome this weakness somewhat just by their power to complete as high pair.
Most players will play any two face cards, but when they are suited their potential to complete a win does go up. KQ off suit is about a 61 percent favorite against other random hands. When suited, that percentage goes to a little more 63, certainly a small edge, but any edge in online poker is good.
If your high suited connectors fit the flop and you have outs to complete the straight or flush, then you’re more likely to be betting into a monster pot. These cards offer the opportunity to semi-bluff since you are getting good pot odds and have good outs to win.
When you do get high suited connectors, you can use this situation to change up your game if you’ve been playing tight. These cards provide good cause to be more aggressive, and can take a pot right away with your semi-bluff and may complete to a monster winning hand. Remember this when you visit a casino online.
