There are four suits in a deck of cards: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades. In games that require "following suit," such as bridge or hearts, the strong suit in a players hand is the one that has the most and highest value cards. If a hand has many Spades of high value, for example, Spades would be its strong suit. By extension, a person's strong ( or long) suit is their area of expertise or ability, the things they do well. Most often used in the negative, as in "Being quiet in class is not his strong suit."
The official definition of strong suit is "a desirable quality that is particularly prominent in someone's character or an activity at which they excel."
