Nine-Eight suited, like other suited connectors, is a fun hand to get dealt. So many possibilities!

However, some nuances make Nine-Eight suited different from other suited connectors. 

I’m going to help you play this hand more like a pro. Here’s what I’ll cover in this article:

• How to play 98-suited in common preflop situations
• 3 tips for playing 98-suited when you miss the flop
• 3 tips for playing 98-suited when you hit the flop

Let’s get to it.

How to Play 98-Suited Preflop

Position is critical when considering how to play suited connectors before the flop.

These are the positions that will be referenced in this section:

Unopened Pots

98-suited is strong enough to raise from any position in a 6-handed game. Limping in an unopened pot should be avoided.

If you are playing a 9-handed, 98-suited should be folded from the first 3 positions*. It is not strong enough to raise with so many players still to act behind you.

The exception is if you’re at a table of weak and/or passive players against whom you have a big edge. You can generally loosen up and raise 98-suited in that case.

Against a Raise

98-suited has a unique property: when it makes a straight on a Qx Jx Tx flop, Ace-King also makes a straight. This might seem minor, but it actually has a notable impact because of the prevalence of Ace-King in preflop ranges.

When you’re in the Hijack through the Small Blind and face a raise, for example, 98-suited should almost always be folded. You could 3-bet with it a small fraction of the time, if anything.

Interestingly, this is a much more passive strategy than we see with lower suited connectors like 87-suited through 54-suited. Those hands 3-bet at a much higher frequency than 98-suited, even though they are weaker in terms of absolute strength.

This is an esoteric concept, but if you’re interested in learning more about it, check out this article:

Why 5♠ 4♠ is Better Than 9♠ 8♠ (And How That Should Impact Your Strategy)

 

The Big Blind is the only position in which 98-suited is worth playing against any single raise. This is because you are getting great pot odds and because there are no more players left to act beside you and the opener.

The best approach from the Big Blind is to mix between 3-betting and calling with 98-suited. The closer the open-raiser is to the Button, the more often you should 3-bet (i.e. 3-bet less often against early position and more often versus later position).

You can, of course, adjust based on the players at your table. But now you know the “GTO” way to play 98-suited against a raise.

Against a 3-Bet

You should always continue with 98-suited against a 3-bet. The hand has plenty of equity and playability to make calling the best option.

The one exception is when you are playing against a really tight 3-bettor. If you know they’ve always got the goods, don’t give them action — just get out of the way and move onto the next hand.

Against a 4-Bet

I’m going to hone in on how to play versus a 4-bet after you’ve 3-bet from the Big Blind.

In this scenario, you should mix 50/50 between calling and folding when out-of-position. If you’re in position (meaning the Small Blind is the 4-bettor), always call.

Note: This strategy is only good against a strong opponent who actually 4-bets aggressively. If you are playing against a player who is not going to bluff enough, then calling with 98-suited would be a huge mistake.

3 Tips for Playing When You Miss the Flop 

Most of the time, you won’t flop a pair with 98-suited. That’s what these 3 tips are for.

Tip #1: Consider check-raising when you flop an open-ended straight draw out of position

Example: You defend from the Big Blind with 9d 8d and the flop comes Jd Ts 5h. You should look to check-raise at a high frequency.

Including a mix of both strong hands and bluffs is essential when building a strong check-raising strategy.

Open-ended straight draws are ideal bluffs because they carry strong equity and give you the potential to make stronger hands (like Ace-high) fold. By occasionally check-raising with these draws, you can win either by completing your straight or by forcing your opponent to fold a superior hand.

Tip #2: If you raise preflop and flop a draw, c-bet almost every time

Example: You open-raise from the Cutoff with 9h 8h and the Big Blind calls. If the board comes Qs Js 5h, you should fire a c-bet at a very high frequency.

To keep your strategy balanced and effective, bet with gutshot straight draws, open-ended straight draws, and flush draws to apply pressure on your opponent.

By c-betting draws, you maintain a good mix of bluffs and potential value hands. These draws offer opportunities to improve on later streets. And when they hit, you can capitalize by maximizing value and potentially stacking your opponent.

Tip #3: If you 3-bet and the flop has two broadway cards, c-bet even if you totally missed

In 3-bet pots, you have a significant range advantage on “double broadway” flops (i.e. two cards above Ten). These boards connect strongly with the value hands in your range, so c-betting is often the best move. 

Even if you completely miss, like holding 9h 8h on an As Ks 5d board, it’s still crucial to bluff. Not c-betting in this scenario is a fundamental mistake (unless you’re up against a calling station that never folds).

3 Tips for Playing When You Hit the Flop

Sometimes you’ll actually flop a pair or better. That’s what these tips are for.

Tip #1: Check back with middle or third pair in single-raised pots

Example: If you open-raise from the Button, the Big Blind calls and the flop comes Js 9d 4c, you should mostly check back with your 98-suited.

With marginal hands like middle pair and third pair, the goal is usually to get to a cheap showdown by playing passively. And when you improve to trips or two pair, you can start playing more aggressively.

Additionally, checking back allows you to capitalize on opponents who over-bluff (since they’ll bet into you on later streets and your pair is strong enough to call a bet).

Tip #2: Slow-play your two pairs when the flop is monotone

If you’ve been reading my articles regularly, you have probably read that slow-playing is something you should do very seldomly.

Well, here is one situation in which you should slow-play some of your strong hands (two pair or better): monotone flops.

For example, let’s say that the flop came 9h 8h 4h after you’ve called from the Big Blind with 9d 8d. When faced with a bet in this scenario, you should always just call.

Your opponent can already have a ton of better hands (flushes and sets) and is very likely to hit more on the turn or river. So, while your absolute hand strength is two pair, your relative hand strength is something like a top pair.

You have a great bluff-catching hand at this point, nothing more. Don’t bloat the pot by fast-playing or you’re gonna have a bad time.

Tip #3: If you raise preflop and flop top pair, mix between c-betting big and checking (in position)

On low boards, you should mix between betting large and checking back with your flopped top pair.

Let’s go through an example and I will explain why.

You open-raise from the Button and the Big Blind calls. The flop comes 9d 6s 3s and you’re holding 9h 8h.

In this spot, your range has a lot of missed hands in it. All your double broadway hands missed (Queen-Jack, Ace-Queen, etc). Your range cannot support a high c-betting frequency because of all those missed hands.

Your opponent also has a large amount of the same types of missed hands. For this reason, a bigger bet is better as it will push the large majority of those missed hands with one or two overcards out of the pot. 

When you opt for this strategy of using a bigger bet, the threshold of betting for value goes up. For this reason, mixing between c-betting and checking with your top pair weak kicker is optimal, as this hand cannot go for three streets of value. But it is very vulnerable to all those overcards which are very likely to come on the turn or the river.

Wrapping Up

There you have it, the 5-minute guide to crushing it with 98-suited. Take this knowledge to heart, execute correctly at the tables, and get ready to have more big blinds coming your way!

10. LETTER HUNT

Buy some waterproof letters and pop them into a kiddie pool. Then, the kids can simply fish these letters out! This is a great game to start incorporating letter recognition with younger kids.

20. DRIP DRIP DROP

You’ve probably played duck, duck, goose at some point with your kids, but play a kiddie pool version of this game this summer! Instead of simply tapping the heads of the players, one child goes around with a bucket of water. The player who’s it will say drip, drip, drip… until they choose a player to dump the bucket of water on top and say, “Drop”! And just like in duck, duck, goose, the player who got wet must try to chase the player who is it and tag them before they can steal their seat!

21. WATER DANCE PARTY

Why not have a little dance party in the kiddie pool with your kids? Just put on some music and have a splash around in the pool!

Whoever moves is out for the round until a winner remains!

22. APPLE BOBBING

One of my absolute favorite movies to drink along to is The Big Lebowski. The Cohen Bros film is a cult classic and still an immensely popular movie despite being more than 25 years old. The “Dude” spends most of the movie with a White Russian or a joint in his hand, so this is the perfect movie to drink along to!

5. THE ROOM

The Room has been deemed the best bad movie of all time. This laughably awkward movie written, directed, and starred in by Tommy Wiseau is both hilarious and cringeworthy at the same time. Despite its absolutely horrible dialogue and lack of a cohesive storyline, it is still surprisingly watchable (though it is more of a comedy than a drama). You’ll likely need alcohol to even get through this film, so turning it into a drinking game is almost a non-negotiable.

WHEN TO DRINK

The opportunities are endless when making a movie drinking game for The Room. And if you have seen the film before, you’ll know just how repetitive it is.

8. BAD BOYS II

This Michael Bay directed cop movie starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is hilarious, action packed, and a bit ridiculous… As with most Michael Bay movies, the movie revolves more around expensive explosions and action than having a cohesive plot, but that is what I love about it! If you are a fan of Bad Boys, you have to try out the Bad Boys II movie drinking game. 

WHEN TO DRINK

Drink responsibly when playing this game as there will be plenty of opportunities to drink. Don’t let the small number of rules fool you. You’ll be downing drinks faster than you might expect!

• A word is not said correctly
• A celebrity cameo occurs
• Someone says or Zoolander does “Blue Steel”
• A character has their photo taken

12. TITANIC

James Cameron’s 3-hour and 14-minute Oscar-winning film follows a fictional love story centered around the real story of the Titanic shipwreck.

• A character gets hit or falls
• There is a close-up shot of Kevin’s face

14. ANCHORMAN

A hilarious comedy film set in the 1970s, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy depicts the competitive and absurd world of broadcast news.

Rush Hour is one of my personal favorite cop movies of all time. This 1998 film is a blend of comedy and action and stars Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. You’ll be laughing out loud without any alcohol, so you can only imagine how fun this film will be with a few drinks in your system.

This is not only a great movie all around but also the breakout role for Mathew McConaughey. His iconic phrase, “Alright, alright, alright,” was coined during this film and was actually improvised.

WHEN TO DRINK

You’ll feel immersed in the culture of the film by turning Dazed and Confused into a movie drinking game.

• A character drinks or does drugs
• Someone gets “paddled”
• Someone says, “Shotgun”
• A classic rock song plays

17. AIRPLANE

Leslie Nielson’s comedy style is eternally hilarious. And if I summed his acting up into a single film, it would undoubtedly be the 1980 film Airplane. This disaster genre parody is ridiculously funny and has some geniuously timed jokes. A perfect movie to enjoy some drinks with.

WHEN TO DRINK

This is another drinking game with very few rules, but you’ll see why when you start watching! There are nearly 3 jokes per minute in the film!

• A pun is used
• You see the outside of the plane
• The plane is safely landed (finish your drink)

18. PULP FICTION

One of my all-time favorite movies, Pulp Fiction, is Tarantino’s crown jewel. This movie has a stacked cast, starring Bruce Willis, Samuel Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and even Quentin Tarantino himself! There are too many iconic scenes to count in this film, and it is easily one of the most quotable films ever made. While alcohol is not required for Pulp Fiction, it sure will elevate your viewing experience!

A classic movie that is perfect for a night in with some drinks is The Princess Bride. The world that William Goldman explores themes like love, revenge, cleverness, loyalty… and so much more packed into a single 1.5-hour film. While this is one of those movies you can thoroughly enjoy without a single drop of alcohol, drinking while watching The Princess Bride can only make the experience of watching this film that much sweeter.

WHEN TO DRINK

There are some super fun catchphrases that occur throughout the movie, so it only makes sense to drink along with some of these. Plus, Andre the Giant’s role in the movie makes for another great opportunity to drink!

Any 80s movie fan will have watched The Goonies at least once. In this film, a group of young boys unexpectedly goes on an adventure in search of the pirate “One-Eyed Willie’s” treasure. It is equally hilarious, action-packed, and thrilling, making for a perfect nostalgic classic. This is a perfect movie for any occasion and also makes a fun drinking game.

WHEN TO DRINK

Here are some fun drinking rules for the classic 80s movie The Goonies.

• Chunk eats or talks about food
• Someone is mean to Sloth
• Someone mentions the Fratelli’s
• You see a map
• Chunk does the “Truffle Shuffle” (finish your drink)

23. AMERICAN PIE

One of the raunchiest teen comedies of all-time, American Pie is an absolute classic film. This 1999 coming-of-age film is not a film you would EVER want to watch with your kids (or your parents), but it is perfect for a movie night with friends. To make this sex-filled cult classic even more entertaining, watch it while drinking a few beverages.

WHEN TO DRINK

There are plenty of opportunities to drink during an American Pie drinking game. Here are a few of my favorite rules.

• Someone says the word “sex”
• A character is drinking on screen
• You hear, “This one time at band camp”
• The “pie scene” (finish your drink)
• Nudity (Chug for the duration)

24. JURASSIC PARK

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park is a timeless adventure that brought dinosaurs to life on the big screen. There have been many iterations of Jurassic Park since the original movie was released in 1993. Wow! Has it been that long already? But just because this movie is over 30 years old doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it any less. In fact, if you want to spice up the movie watching experience a little bit, grab yourself some booze for this dino-sized game.

WHEN TO DRINK

Drinking some alcohol while watching dinosaurs run around? That sounds pretty awesome, doesn’t it? Here are the drinking rules to keep in mind when watching Jurassic Park:

• Anything/anyone dies
• Hammond says, “Spare no expense” (finish your drink)
• You hear the Jurassic Park theme music
• Samuel L. Jackson has a cigarette in his mouth
• You see the amber mosquito cane

25. THE HANGOVER

There’s something fitting about drinking alcohol while watching a movie titled The Hangover. The Hangover is a classic hilarious movie to watch in the company of friends. This is one of those movies that will have you rolling around in laughter as you listen to dirty joke after dirty joke. This movie is definitely not for those who can’t take a joke! And with a few drinks in your system, you’ll find that you’ve never laughed harder!

WHEN TO DRINK

There are too many moments to choose from when deciding when to drink when watching The Hangover, but this is a great list to get you started.

• A character says, “Remember”
• Alan says a “clean” swear word
• You see a famous Vegas casino
• HARDCORE MODE: Someone says Doug

26. 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN

Honestly, every time I rewatch 40 Year Old Virgin, I’m reminded of just how amazing this movie is. It’s heartfelt, unique, and, of course, downright hilarious. In this 2-hour movie, you follow the adventures of Andy Stitzer, a 40-year-old virgin whose coworkers try their best to get him laid. There are some comedy gold scenes scattered throughout the film, including the iconic chest-waxing scene (did you know that Steve Carrell actually waxed his chest for this?)!

WHEN TO DRINK

In my opinion, these are the best moments to drink while watching the movie. You’ll be getting buzzed and even drunk in no time!

• Steve Carrell says something nerdy
• You hear the word “virgin”
• Andy fails at having sex
• Andy loses his virginity (finish your drink)

27. TWILIGHT

There’s something about watching subpar films as a drinking game. Twilight definitely falls into this category, but there’s no denying its captivation. After all, Edward is a sparkly vampire – and what’s more captivating than that? Although not meant to be a comedy, the premise is just ridiculous enough that you can turn it into a funny evening as you binge the Twilight series (and alcohol).

WHEN TO DRINK

While these drinking rules are best suited for the first Twilight film, you can easily apply them to all five films if you want to binge all of them!

• A character says “vampire”
• Someone sparkles
• Bella touches her hair
• You laugh at something that isn’t supposed to be funny (finish your drink)

28. MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Looking for an entire collection of movies to watch and get drunk at the same time? Try a Marvel film! While each MCU movie might be different, they all fall under the same universe, so it’s super easy to binge and watch once you get into it. Within the MCU, you can find some pretty awesome films and others that are pretty forgettable. But whatever film you watch, you can easily turn it into a drinking game to make the night even more entertaining.

WHEN TO DRINK

I know the MCU is a pretty broad category, but since they all follow a basic structure, you can easily apply the same movie drinking rules to every Marvel movie. Here are the drinking rules to follow.

• A character puts on or takes off a super suit
• Expensive damage to building(s) occurs
• A character talks to an AI
• A non-title character superhero appears
• A new villain appears
• A civilian is saved from certain death
• Stan Lee makes a cameo (finish your drink)

29. BACK TO THE FUTURE

A classic movie that never gets old is Back to the Future. This movie is one you can watch even when you’re in the foulest of moods, and you’ll be feeling upbeat again in no time. If you want to make Marty’s adventure of trying to get his parents back together all the more fun, turn it into a boozy game!

WHEN TO DRINK

In Back to the Future, there are some key moments where you’ll be fully finishing your drink. But don’t worry; you’ll also be taking one too many sips throughout as well:

• Someone says “McFly”
• Lorraine flirts with her future son
• You see a clock
• Marty travels in time (finish your drink)

30. DIE HARD

Bruce Willis as John McClane in Die Hard has become an iconic figure in the action movie genre. But more than a simple action film, Die Hard has become a favorite Christmas movie for fans around the world – including myself! This classic 1988 film is packed with suspense, explosions, and memorable one-liners (which you’ll obviously have to finish your drink to!).

WHEN TO DRINK

Die Hard is an absolute rollercoaster of a film to watch around the Christmas holidays. With a beer or eggnog in hand, here are the movie drinking rules for Die Hard:

• Someone says, “McClane”
• Someone says, “Nakatomi”
• Christmas reference
• McClane talks to himself
• McClane says, “Yippi ka ye motherf****r” (finish your drink)

31. ELF

If you’ve gathered with your friends for Christmas, what better movie to watch than Elf? Elf is one of those ridiculous movies that has become a classic over time. Even without a drink, this movie is probably one of the most entertaining movies out there. You’ll be laughing out loud with your friends and family in moments like Buddy fighting fake Santa to Buddy sitting on Papa Elf’s lap and everything in between.

WHEN TO DRINK

There’s so much comedy gold scattered throughout the entirety of the movie that you could probably drink for every second of it. But don’t worry; we’re not trying to get you alcohol poisoning. Here are the key moments you should take a drink.

• Buddy says, “Santa”
• Buddy eats candy
• Buddy says, “Christmas cheer”
• Buddy’s dad gets annoyed
• Buddy chugs 3 liters of soda (chug, chug, chug!)

3. CLUE: WIZARDING WORLD HARRY POTTER

This is a magical twist on the classic game of Clue. Players will play as various wizards at Hogwarts. One of the Students has vanished and all the characters are suspects.

Players will need to watch out because there is a possibility of running into the dark mark. If a player comes in contact, they could lose house points if they do not have the right help cards.

6. CATCH THE GOLDEN SNITCH

Catch the Golden Snitch is a fast-paced, dexterity-based board game. Players all take their turns simultaneously, making the play area chaotic.

Players will draw cards and discard them as quickly as possible to collect sets of matching cards but never have more than 5 cards in hand. Players may get sets of items that award them points at the end of the game, pairs of seekers who only give points if they catch the snitch, and various other card types.

Some cards when collected prevent people from stealing from you. Others will allow players to throw a bludgeoner at another in an attempt to sabotage other players’ hands. Some sets allow you to steal other players’ sets. After a random amount of turns the golden snitch will be released into the air. The player who catches it first is allowed to score their seekers.

Once a player has found all of their assigned characters, they will then need to make their way back to their starting location to win!

8. MISCHIEF IN DIAGON ALLEY 

Mischief in Diagon Alley is a super fast-paced, real-time game. Players will be rolling their three dice and using their instruction to move around items on the board. The goal for each player is to quickly assemble all their shop’s items and remove all the wrong items from their shop.

10. CODENAMES: HARRY POTTER

In Codenames: Harry Potter players will split into two teams. Players will then take turns giving clues for the other side to correctly guess the members needed.

This fun Harry Potter game is a fun twist on classic Codenames.

HOW TO PLAY

Players will take turns giving their opposing teammates a single-word clue, followed by a number of cards this clue applies to. The opposing team will then think and discuss the clue before touching a tile to indicate a guess. If it was a Phoenix Member,  they are one step closer to winning and get to guess again. When it is a Ministry Official, they lose time and have to end the turn immediately. If it is the dreaded death eater, you have lost the game. Once finished their turn it is time for the other team to follow suit and complete their turn in the same fashion. If players manage to get all 15 members found before the end of the game, they win!

11. HARRY POTTER GUESS WHO?

Harry Potter Guess Who? is a magic-filled version of standard Guess Who?

HOW TO PLAY

Each player will choose their character and then take turns asking questions about them. On a player’s turn, they will ask a single yes or no question to their opponent.

The first player to ask the opponent if their character is “so and so” and be correct wins. 

12. HEDBANZ WIZARDING WORLD HARRY POTTER
