Default Re: Playing Ax suited for flush value ???

With any suited started hands in holdem you have roughly a 6.4% chance of making a flush by the river. Unless you have massive implied odds, i.e in level one of blinds in a rebuy for a limp, it is not worth playing. So basically it is not worth playing. On the other hand in Omaha if you have a double suited ace, obviously a more beneficial starting hand anyway, then you would have a 12.8% chance of making a flush by the river. Playing that hand is a different thing altogether anyways.

But on the holdem question. You will hit a flush draw 10.9% of the time on the flop and even then you will only have a 36% chance of hitting your flush. So not really worth it unless in ridiculously favourable implied odds situations maybe extremely deepstacked small blinds
