Big suited hands like KJs, QTs or J9s are solid hands that have the ability to win huge pots. Since they're considered weaker than a couple of the bigger hands, you'll have to play them very carefully, especially postflop.

We will show you when to open-raise or call with these hands preflop, but more importantly, you will also learn how to "float" postflop and why you should do that in certain spots. Furthermore, we will introduce the concept of frequencies, explaining how and why you should split your postflop actions into different categories played at different rates.
