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."
