How many of you have that one useless but favorite hand you believe in so much that even though it screw's you at times but you so much believe in your 64 suited that you never fold it

The problem is if you have a player with a very good hand. Hahaha

8,10 seems to hit the straight a lot.

I myself prefer 9 10, and it's better if it's suited. But I will play any suited connectors under certain conditions. Let's say I've played a bit at the same table and I can put players on ranges. Let's say that a very solid player raises from early position, there are 2-3 callers- all good players who play good cards. If I'm in late position I might call with lower suited connectors. They are best for cracking good hands. So if I'm assuming that the high cards are in the players hands, the I should interact with the flop more often than they do. If that makes any sense for you guys.

There is no hand with which I would unconditionally believe and go with it in every hand to the end, so I lose less money.

With 74s from the BB or the Button, I like defending this hand. Villains usually don't expect it, and it can make some disguised strong hands.

In theory, any starting hand has a chance to make the nuts. Amateurs are known to use overly wide ranges because they enjoy the rare wins with unfavorable hands and don't consider the losses they incur over the long term.For me it's 3 2.

T9o. No idea why, but I always seem to get into trouble with it and somehow still love playing it.

Personally, I don't have favorite hands, the junk hands that you say I tried to play, but they don't arrive, so I better throw them away.

In my case, A10 is the card I never fold but rarely win with that 🤦‍♂️

I really go crazy when I win at 22 But 72 or anything with Jack except Aj goes in the trash.

For me, it’s suited connectors in general. I know they’re not always profitable, but it’s hard not to get excited when there’s a chance to make a big straight or flush

Mine has to be 6♠4♠. I know it's not a premium hand, and statistically it's probably costing me money, but every time I see it, my brain suddenly becomes convinced it's about to crack aces and win a monster pot. 😅

We all have that one "pet hand" that logic says fold, but experience (or stubbornness) says play. Mine has given me some amazing memories and some spectacular disasters, yet I still find myself defending it whenever it shows up.

So what's your irrational favorite hand—the one you'll probably never stop playing no matter how many times it lets you down? 😂♠️
