The Nicknames for this starting hand are “Marriage”, “Royalty” and “Couple”. The King-Queen suited is the 7th best starting hand in the top list. But also this great starting hand can turn bad quickly after dealt community cards in Texas Holdem.
I played already many King-Queen starting hands, but it is one of the hands I hate. There are many of odds and possibilities at the start but only a few to the end of the hand playing. If there comes both of these cards on the board, there is for sure a hand on the table sitting that will get a straight, if there are 2 of your color cards in the flop there comes an another flush for your opponents or even when the flush comes, there is an ace high flush in the game.
Many poker players over price this hand. If you are betting too much preflop and get a call, you can be sure there is a high ace sitting and playing against your King-Queen starting hand. And if there comes an ace in the flop, what do you want to do with your King-Queen? You only can invest your chips and bet to see if your opponent has the ace. You are unlucky if you are playing against a “donk” or “fish” who both are almost calling or even raising your bet. But if you are playing against really good and experienced poker players, winning the hand depends only on your poker game “table image” and “poker face” in this kind of situation.
There are many poker players who like this starting hand. In effect the suited King-Queen starting hand gives you a good possibility to make a straight or flush, your outs are really great. Even with an ace in the flop!
For me, I am playing this hand every time in a different way, depending on the game, the opponents, the position and the stacks sitting at the table. I can’t say, and I never would teach this to a beginner poker player to raise King-Queen starting hand every single time before flop.
