We all know we should fold hands like 10-7 suited or J-9 offsuit, but what is that one specific trash hand that you just cannot resist playing every single time you see it?

For me, it’s probably suited connectors like 76s. 😅
They can be so tempting when the price is right, even though they can easily get you into trouble.
I know I shouldn’t overplay them, but sometimes you just have to see the flop. 🃏

I hardly play those hands, because I lost a lot of chips after the flop because I wanted to build a ladder.

Any hand with A-X suited. If two cards of my suit come on the flop, I’ll often take it all the way, sometimes even going all-in. I know it’s not always the best decision, but I just can’t resist it

You can win with any card, it all depends on the situation and the dealer's hand. I won once even with 2 7 in my hand.

10-3. A horrible hand looking at mathematics but in my head this is a Fullhouse hand about 70% hahah but it depends on the tournament and the amount of chips I have. And the actions of the villains. It sounds crazy but I trust 10-3 a lot;)

As a professional, I can’t afford to do that anymore. Every hand needs to be played with purpose, based on the spot, ranges and stack sizes.
