I often hear players that have favourite cards, or lucky
hands they always play and never fold them pre-flop. Personally I don't have any because pre-flop any 2 cards can win, likewise any 2 cards can lose.
I have on some occasions folded Pocket Aces knowing that if I lose I will forfeit the game, on other occasions I have called an all-in with 7/2 if it is not going to damage my stack too much, because I know from experience that some times even the worst starting hands can win!
Dolly Brunson hand of 10/2, became Legendary because he won two World Series Tournaments with those two cards, but what you have to take into account is that he was holding a massive Chip advantage on both occasions and would only double up his opponents dwindling stack which still would not prove too disastrous if he lost the hand.
I often get 10/2 dealt to me in games and think "Dolly Brunson hand" FOLD! Because I am not Doyle Brunson. but if it is only going to cost me a single blind I might just "Call" if I am feeling lucky.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
