What is your fav hand

max_barry · May 15, 2005

Hi all, just wanted to know other than pocket aces what are your fav hands?? Like a good luck charm or pet hand.

Mine is 8-6. this is becuase in the first freeroll that i got cash in i was dealt it first hand of the tourney. I flopped a straight and doubled up. I went on to finish 6th in that tourney. It was a cardschat one at PokerStars.

It now seems that wheneveri seea flop with 8-6 i get something, ie today i hit a flush with 8-6 suited.

I knoiw i prob shudnt even seea flo with this, but it always comes thru for me...........

I like AsKs and TsJsQs on the flop ...

You can't imagine how pissed I am right now ... I had a player at the table (500$ prize pool tourney), that every hand was going all in
Clearly most of them were bluff .. he got lucky and already had 3K chips ...
Keep going all in, no1 calls until someone on the table calls ... he had 5 10, the one that called had pocket kk ... the idiot gets 2 pairs.
Aftere a couple of hands, I get AK and call him ... cards are being shown, he had a 3 and a 6 ....My exitement for caughting his bluff soon went away when the flop came al hearts and his cards were of hearts ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA .... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???

So ... to be sure .. next tyme I'l only bet on royal flush ... mf :thumpdown

some people play poor

some people play poor in the early rounds of a small buy in turny
so play tight at the bebining

Pocket 6's. Seems to hit alot for me. But it comes back at me alot 2 heh.

FatLoserMexican · May 15, 2005

10 9 spades is my fav hand... doesn't hit too often for me but i like it

bontime · May 15, 2005

Q 9 suited hearts is my fav for some reason it hits 98% of the time i play it and i win 75% of the time when it hits

PaulShops · May 15, 2005

No doubt in my mind, J 10 suited is the best deceiving hand in poker, you can raise with it, call with it fold with it. After the flop its easy to get rid of, but if u hit, its a great laugh beating aces or kings.

sonni · May 15, 2005

my favorite hand tends to be q9, also i like the hand that wins me money.

dolz04 · May 15, 2005

pocket 10s

usaully they are good wnough but easy to get rid of when some one raises back big

eduardom74 · May 15, 2005

favorite cards

i will say favorite cards are 9 and 6 in any order for some reason those seen to be really good cards... also it seen like i always lose with a pair of 10s

monster flop · May 15, 2005

9-10 suited
I cant lose baby

Krift · May 15, 2005

Like dolz04, pocket 10s rules

Everytime i have two tens, another ten come on table

Yeah

jonmanwar123 · May 15, 2005

99!!!!!

Fav hand has to be nines in the hole, first time playing my other friends talked a lotta smack said i was dead money, first hand i got 99 and was like alright fine im all in didnt really care what i was doin and my friend calls with QQ and i catch two nines on flop and every since then my fav hand has been 99, did pretty "good"(got lucky first time playin, however that was over 2 years ago) on that first night won about 150 bucks in a tourney game althought

dhowetay · May 16, 2005

My favorite hand is J 10 spades. It seems that i almost always hit a straight or a flush with that hand. It's very hard for me to fold when raised pre-flop.

SHIPdaCHIPS · May 16, 2005

i also love J 10 suited, its good stuff. The reason it is so good is because if you flop a straight it automatically is the nut straight. No other suited connector lets you flop the nut straight so many ways. 7 8 9, 8 9 Q, 9 Q K, Q K A. all four ways are the nuts

greenhrnet · May 16, 2005

i have a thing for playing the minimum bet with a 10 4 off, i won a few and noticed a trend.....then i lost a few but i cant resist it. i hate folding to the full house and it and when it happens it sets me up for the next one....ive talked to my therapist and he says that in time i should be ok...but ill need a few follow up visits.....

Hi,

I have only started playing poker the last few weeks and played in one freeroll so far, it was on ladbrokes poker.

The first hand i folded

The 2nd hand I got dealt pocket Jacks and called the first round of betting, everyone folded and some guy called all in, 1,500 chips.

I knew I could get a nice little start if I beat him on the flop. What would you guys have done? I called and went all in and he had A K and hit a K on the flop to beat me with a pair. I lost and was out very early but did I do the right thing? Was I unlucky?

IrishDave · May 16, 2005

K-10 suited has been very good to me. I absolutely hate medium pairs as I don't think I've ever flopped a set that wasn't hammered by a straight or flush.

best999 · May 16, 2005

My favorite hand is pocket 2s. Everytime I get this hand I get trips. I will bet big before the flop and play it till the river like I would with rockets.

Colin you did make the right move. The hands were pretty much a coin flip with you in the advantage. I hate to say it but poker is mostly luck. Goo luck next time and maybe you will be the lucky one.

Cheers best. Its strange to say it but even though I had lost I wasnt dissapointed cos I felt I had made the right move and said to myself if I was in that position again I would defintely make the same move and hopefully be a bit luckier on the flop, turn etc

Many thanks

Favorite holdem hand

Ace King suited is by far my favorite. I win with it almost every time I get it unlike AA which I have lost on again and again, no matter how I play it. The last three times I had it, I went the all in rout and lost to Q9 suited, J9 off, and 63 off. The J9 was later in a tourney and it was 70000 in chips bet. Couldn't believe they even stayed in. I hate AA.

tenbob · May 16, 2005

56 on the button

No doubt in my mind, especially if its a small bet to see the flop. Very easy to let go and absolutly kills callers with A5 if they hit the straight.

newfymark · May 16, 2005

fav hand

i think my favourite hand is j 9 suited. It almost always seems to hit for me, especially straights.
Im not too big of a fan of pocket aces becuase i always seem to get burned by them especially on that dam river lol

El_Siciliano · May 16, 2005

Like Pocket Queens.... seems work well for me, no matter if I'm against rockets

buttsy77 · May 16, 2005

as wierd as it sounds my lucky hand is 8/3 suited...

What is your fav hand
