I have a favorite 9Jo hand and play it often, I am always more confident in that hand, depending on the situation, if you don't have a connection you can bluff

:6s4::8h4: - during my 2nd live tournament ever (100 years back) in some local pub whilst I was student learning how to play, I entered all in with this hand knocking out 4 other players with AKs, and 2x QQ landing straight :ROFLMAO:

I didnt care that much, but the other players clearly weren't happy about it haha

since then I like to play this hand in early stages of MTTs

Todos nós já ouvimos o conselho de simplesmente jogar fora suas mãos ruins, como :7s4::2h4: "ou" :10c4::3d4: e guardar suas fichas para uma mão melhor. No entanto, as piores bad beats em torneios parecem vir de jogadores que entraram em potes com mãos "sem valor" semelhantes e acabaram quebrando seu AA e levando todas as suas fichas.

Existe alguma mão ruim que você gosta de jogar porque parece ganhar com muito mais frequência do que deveria?
Is 7 and 2 by BB a top defender kkkk

For me, it’s J♠9♠! I don’t know why, but that hand always finds a way to connect with the board. It’s not “trash” for real, but I’ve played it in spots where I definitely should’ve folded and somehow ended up stacking someone.

It’s funny how some hands just feel lucky for you. I’ve seen players swear by 7-2 or 10-3 because of one crazy pot they won years ago. Poker really has that weird superstition side and I kinda love it. What’s wild is when your “trash” hand suddenly becomes your go-to weapon in late position!

For some reason, J-4 offsuit always seems to get there for me.

Haha, this question hits differently when you've been on the wrong end of it.
I'll be honest — I'm not someone who makes a habit of playing trash hands. I generally believe in discipline and hand selection, especially in tournaments where every chip matters.
But then again, I've had my AA cracked by hands I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. And somehow those players always look completely calm when they flip over their 7-4 like it's the most natural thing in the world.
I don't really have a lucky trash hand that I play regularly. But I will say this — there's something about suited connectors that I have a soft spot for when the conditions are right. Deep stacks, good position, cheap price to see a flop. Not exactly trash, but definitely not premium.
The real truth about trash hands winning big pots is simple: nobody sees them coming. When you bet your AA on a 7-4-2 flop, you're not putting anyone on two pair. That's exactly why they're dangerous.
Poker has a sick sense of humor that way. The hand you'd never play in a million years is the one that sends you to the rail.
I lost a big pot to 9-6 offsuit recently. Guy shoved over my open from UTG with pocket Aces. Flopped a 9, rivered a 6. Tournament over.
So yeah... maybe 9-6 is my nemesis, not my lucky hand.😄

There are hands like 6♦5♦ or 3♣3♦ that seem to have a mind of their own. You win a huge pot every now and then, and it makes you feel like they’re better than they actually are. But most of the time, if you play them too much, you end up losing your stack.

I noticed that when I have a short stack and I go all-in with a hand of Kx, especially suited ones, I often win, in my personal experience

We've all seen the advice to just throw away your rag hands such as :7s4::2h4: or :10c4::3d4: and save your chips for a better hand. However, the worst bad beats in tournaments seem to come from players who entered pots with similar "worthless" hands, and wound up cracking your AA and taking all of your chips.

Is there a lucky trash hand that you like to play because it seems to win way more often than it should?

Actually, any card can bring joy if you don't expect it.
For example, for me, the card was 83, which was followed by a 383 on the flop and a 3 on the turn.

I seem to win a surprising number of pots with Ax suited, especially the ugly ones like A2s–A5s. Technically, they’re not great hands, but they play sneaky well. You’ve got the nut flush potential, wheel draws with the low kickers, and people often don’t put you on an ace when the board runs low.

They’re also great for cracking big aces when someone overplays AK or AQ. It feels like half the time those “trash” suited aces end up making a flush or a weird two pair and stacking someone.

Quick question about Season of Legends on Player City. Are the €1,000 daily Infinity Prize Drops completely random or do you need to reach a certain level to qualify? I’m deciding if I should just play casually or really try to compete for the top spots. €512k pool is definitely tempting. https://cutt.ly/QtUTwgaX

Good morning everyone.
Generally, I tend to win big pots with weak hands when I am in the Big Blind. For example, I play hands like 5-4 suited, 6-5, 7-5, 9-8 suited, or any suited hand like that.
Many times I hit a set, a flush, and the villain is there with AA thinking it is very strong and wants to play a pot of 100 or 200 blinds. He thinks top pair never loses, like on a 5-5-2 board. Then he bets, you check-raise, he keeps insisting and ends up committing to the pot.
This happens a lot in micro stakes. At higher stakes it is harder, because villains play more according to the real strength of their hand. The more expensive the buy-in, the better the players are.
So, the hand I win the most pots with is usually when I am in the Big Blind with suited hands, even the weaker ones, like 2-3 suited, 4-5 suited.
According to theory, you should defend practically most suited hands, something close to 95% or even more, of course, always paying attention to the villains.
