Understand that getting same-suited starting hand is very common in the game of Texas Hold’em poker. You shouldn’t be overexcited about it, since completing the flush may be a lot harder than you think. There are 23.58% chances of getting a same-suited starting hand. The odds against you completing the flush right after the flop is a whopping 118:1; you only have less than 0.9% chances of getting three cards of your suit being dealt for the flop. Getting two cards of your suit at the flop is possible, but the chances are just a little over 10%. You do have 41.6% chances of getting another card of your suit.

That is just the flops. Your chances of scoring a flush gets relatively tighter as you see the turn and the river. If the flop only showed one card of your suit, the chances of getting one card of your suit on the turn and the river is reduced to 5.77%. Next time you want to play a hand just because it is suited, consider the odds and decide your moves based on the individual card rationally.
