I like to play with suitable connectors such as 9-10 hearts. They aren't premium hands, but if they connect well on the flop, they can give big surprises. In addition, they are harder to read. What hands do you enjoy playing with outside the classic AA or AK?

Hey KIRA.

I’m in the same boat as you. Really like playing suited connectors, even low suited connectors like 6 7 or even a 5 8.

More than these, I really love playing small pairs. Like the example above, if the situation is right, small pairs can be deadly. Obviously, you can hit a set on the flop, but a boat on the turn against an aggressive player who hit trips on the flop can be huge. Again, you need to know when to fold. As I’m sure you’re aware, you’re often the dog with these types of hands pre-flop. Or, at best, it’s a race.

Kind Studying. Keep Grinding. Have Fun.

If you play Hold'em year after year for a long enough time, you will understand that it is not the notorious monsters from QQ to AA that raise much more often,but either complete slag or connectors.And pocket pairs are basically a separate story. You need to switch to a separate mode inside and play.Of course, pairs from 77 are best. Smaller ones should be folded on the flop.My favorite 9 9.

All hands are good when they lead to the fact that the chips move towards you, do not overestimate the start of the hand

Pocket rockets (AA) because they win most and I don’t have to think too hard.

Sometimes they're rather bad if you don't raise enough to catch up with those with low cards!!

I think “AK” is the most valuable hand for me (excluding monster hands like “KK” and “AA”). I've been playing poker for a long time and all of my most important wins have been with "AK". :)

QK of hearts, you got a chance against AA and KK because of the outs.

AAKK double suited. Can do 😈 evil things. And as we know Omaha is a game made in Hell.

The favorite is probably AK, and the most admired 89 are one-size-fits-all. There are many possible options.

Suited connectors from 76 upwards are my favourite, with QJ being the best
