Are there any hands you get that you just feel this "urge" to play almost every time?

I absolutely love being dealt 7-9 suited and unless there are massive bets and raises before me I will play it like a premium hand. I'd even say I have won far more often with that hand than AA.
I'd be far more willing to play 7-9 suited than almost any other suited connector (which I would rarely play anyway).


Are there any pretty weak hands you enjoy playing?

Maybe you are losing with aces because you play 79 like a premium :p If you played 7 9 like aces and showed it down once Id never respect your raise again lol! I sat here for 5 minutes and tried to think of my favorite hand, realized I just don't like to fold lmao.

I like to play small pairs: 33,44,55,66. When I go with such a pair and catch a set on the flop, it makes me very happy. My hand is well worth it, 80%, I'm starting to fan the bank, it's hard for opponents to calculate what I have if on board Q, J, K, A.:aetsch:

a favorite hand is not bad, if only you play it as a premium hand. It does not even make you vulnerable, because the rest of the same strength of arms you play differently.

In fact, suited connectors or even connectors with one missing card (5-7s, 8-10s, 6-8, 9-Js, etc.) are a pretty strong hand, if you can cheaply see the flop. The main thing is not to overpay for it.

With this hands , if the call its low, you can pay just for see flop.If the flop its good, stay in game, but if not you need to fold or just check.

It is remarkable the number of people that love 79 suited.

Like Q-10 and have a crazy attraction to K-9 for some reason.

I love 53s because it dominates the low.Also JT because it dominates the middle and the high range. Pocket pairs like 22,33,44,55 are my favorite especially the insidious 22.

I do not have a specific non-premium hand that I like to play.

But it always brings a smile to my face, when I get a "free" look from the BB with absolute rubbish cards and then flop a full house. The more limpers the better.

I actually even have hands of each suit that I like to play if the opportunity and right price arises:
A5hearts
910hearts
Q9spades
79diamonds
J9 clubs
For some reason though Q9 is just one of my top favorite weird hands, not too sure why though[emoji23][emoji23]

63 suited because a few years ago i heard Doyle Brunson saying that is his favorite hand and started thinking about it. IT is a really strange hand to play.. nobody can put you on 63 lol so you can hit some nasty flops or draws ( many times i had flops with 33 or 66 in them or 245) and it is so hard to be dominated if you just open it.. so even If Doyle was kidding when he said that he made me think and make 63 my favorite hand :D If you ever play against me think about it If You are a 33x board [emoji14]
Good luck

J10s for sure, you get a piece of the board more often than not.

Mine is J7. won my first 2 poker tourneys with it, and just stuck around, I will raise with it most of the time, especially when playing with friends who know that, cause when the board comes J77, I can represent that I have it when I don’t lol, I will fold it when facing heavy pressure though.
