What is the starting hand that triggers you the most when it doesn't flop well?

rsparente · Dec 27, 2023

Me: AKx. As due to it's value most of the times the pot get too big preflop.

I don't associate the flop with my starting hands. Maybe I didn't understand you very well, but in my case I have a range of hands with which I play, but necessarily taking into account my position at the table, the stage of the tournament and the characteristics of the opponents at the table. That is, if my cards are strong enough, then, taking into account the flop, I will consider different game scenarios.

Yes, easily AKo. Next best drawing hand in the deck (after AKs) but still misses 2/3 of the time.

The situation is the same with a couple of nines or a dozen. A jack, queen, king or ace are dealt on the flop and you just give up, especially if it's a multipot

For me it's AK or AQ. I always seem to hit the opposite of the hand I'm holding so always a Q on the flop when I have AK and always a K when I hold AQ.

But that's poker for you haha.

AK for sure, such a strong hand preflop but a lot of times it just ends up being A high...

akmost · Dec 27, 2023

When you have KK and the A is there on the flop , and what about when you have QQ and the flop looks something like AKX

CataRouillet · Dec 27, 2023

Most of the time when I have QQ the flop hits A K.

laihuynh · Dec 27, 2023

I like QK,KK,AA it's a good opening.

NootNoot · Dec 27, 2023

JJ. A little over 50% chance of an A,K or Q on the flop. It's both tricky to navigate and disheartening when one of those cards does come. It's especially bad if there was a lot of action pre-flop, and you think your opponent has a narrow range of premium hands, or if you're something like 4-way having raised from early position and got 3 callers.

AKo. If its a 3 bet or 4 bet Flop

jose_saleh · Dec 27, 2023

It happens to me with KK, it kills my momentum when flop tosses the only card I dont want to see with that hand

f_lampa · Dec 27, 2023

yes, probably AK is the worst hand for me to watch the flop

Luckybvby777 · Dec 27, 2023

That Ace Jack SMH just does something to me when I see no flop sheesh.

BillyR23 · Dec 27, 2023

In my case, I really hate when I have QQ and I see an A and/or a K on the flop- such a great hand preflop(3rd best hand) and such a tough spot on this kind of flops- definitely you can't win a big pot but you can still lose a few chips(similar with JJ but the things can be even worse as there's one more overcard that can come on the flop that can put you in a tough spot* A/K/Q...)

Just happened with me in a tournament, I was on the other side, lol
JJ from one of the villains, me and other with AKx and the other villain with AQx, JJ got it (unfortunately for me)

JJ-KK I think. When there's a higher card on the flop

lyki67 · Dec 28, 2023

It's AK, suited or not.

Unfortunate that you all had aces, leaving only one possible left and that two of you had kings reducing your outs there as well.
