In poker, suited means that two or more cards are of the same suit—like both being hearts, spades, diamonds, or clubs. It usually comes up when talking about starting hands in games like Texas Hold’em.
For example:
Suited cards have more potential to make a flush—five cards of the same suit—which is a strong hand. That’s why suited connectors (like 8♥ 9♥) are popular: they can make both straights and flushes.
But it’s worth noting: being suited only slightly improves your hand. A lot of new players overvalue suited cards, thinking they’re way stronger than they are.
Being suited adds a little flavor to your hand, but it’s not magic. It’s a nice bonus—not a reason to play garbage.
