    but if theres two suiter on the flop, you have same suit A K OR Q, sure it’s best to gamble a bit, you still have two chance’s

  2. JesusChristkkk says:

    The example is shit. Show the % when you face A8 of spades against KQ of spades. And explain the possible implied odds. Phil Gordon is a idiot.

    wish all beginners seen this.. then they wouldnt call rasies etc and suck out with Q3s, i know so many people who play suited cards, ull win one big pot every game you play i bet, but ul never win anything in the long run, can only suck out so many times before you gt busted

  4. jokericon00 says:

    Even though what he is saying is true. However, I have seen suited cards win really big pots.

    Actually i think 78s has about 21% more chance of winning against KK than 78!

    This video is very misleading. I limp in in late position with 67s but wouldnt dream of playing 67!

  9. QSN2025 says:

    Isn’t 4% better than nothing?

  10. Rdysn5 says:

    i find that AKs and AQs are much better than their unsuited counterparts

    I liked it…
    and I’m only playing against a computer!

  12. NightSkyDarkness says:

    the point is you play suited hands AFTER the flop.u search a flush draw…

  13. phoenix666211 says:

    i think thats wrong…
    you must play in the right moments “bad” cards like 56.
    AND YOU DONT WANNA GET A LOOSE IMAGE.
    you want the suprise effect of your side.
    so you dont play every 56, only the suits.
    and the 4 percent…
    when you play 100 pots, you win 4 pots more!
    this is not much, but it can be the different between a winner and a loser =)

    very informative tip thx..I think I’ll buy the DVD

  15. gnikpac says:

    at a big table and big hand (4+ people) when youre playing with suited cards, your odds are increased close to 4 percent still, which is a big deal when it comes to pot odds. playing low suited connectors all-in, preflop, in a low-medium LIMIT table when you think everyone else has high pockets or AK offsuit, can win you some big hands (makes more sense if youve already called a raise so youre already pot commited). between AK, QQ, JJ, 10 10, and 67 suited, 67 has 20% still.

    Finally this guy gets it exactly right. I see so many people overplay suited cards. “But they were SUITED!”

  20. rigz134 says:

    and who are u again

  21. CarlLewenski says:

    Yes, these formulas are pretty logical for determining approximate odds.
    Thanks for the insight.

  22. dubconor says:

    because when your counting outs you count the unseen cards, so if you have 7h6h and the flop comes Ah 2h 3c you have seen 5 cards from 52, 4 of which where hearts, so that means theres 9 cards left from 47 that might give you the winning hand.. so if you want your odds divide 9 into 47… and if you want your precentages use the 4 / 2 rule.. 9 * 4 – 1 = 35% …. 9 * 2 – 1 = 17% use 4 for turn and river, use 2 for river… hope this helps ya out a bit

  23. CarlLewenski says:

    If I am wrong, then explain to me why.
