Suited connectors

Suited connectors is a poker term referring to pocket cards which are of the same suit and consecutive in rank. Example: A♠ 2♠, Q♥ J♥, 5♦ 4♦. In Texas hold'em, suited connectors play well against multiple players when they can see the flop cheaply. A player will generally not raise with them, because raising usually causes a few players to fold, decreasing the pot odds in the event of a straight or flush draw on the flop. However, a hand like ace-king suited might do well to raise because the cards will also work well if they pair, which is the more likely possibility, so the pot odds are less important.
