My least favourite is 72o... but one hand which I dislike though is QTo. It just has really terrible reverse implied odds the times when you hit your Queen or your Ten and you get dominated by a better kicker.

Personally I have none, but best hand to star obviouslly AA is followed KK, even i get happy if JK comes to me.

It depends too much on the position. I "dont like" aces when UTG, because in LP you can get a lot more chips with it. When in MP, hands like TT,AQ can be very useful, if you play them wisely they can trap a wide range of hands.

Many hands!

Well who doesn't like AA and KK although every time I play KK someone ALWAYS calls with a A2-6 and gets the A on flop never fails it seems. Then there is QQ which I think is a great hand cause for some reason I often get another Q before the end.

AT is also nice cause you can sometimes flop the highest straight or even catch a little lower of a straight and this means JQK flops and opponents more willing to stay in hand cause they have a high pair...

As far as suited goes who doesn't like seeing that flush it can be so easy to get sometimes and it beats so many other types of hands.

AA and KK, obviously. Middle pairs, JTs, and T9s (you almost always know where you stand and can win big)

Interesting. I've personally, never really had a lot of success with KJ. Although, I usually try not to get in too deep with that sort of hand.

Completely agree. I really like 89 suited too. Can disguise a staright nicely with that hand. Unless there is 4 to a straight on the board, obviously.

I also like to play with these types of hands . Obviously pairs of A and K are very good, but these naipadas cards are great to play well.

I love the suited ace but always try to get in cheaply. Hate to see a paired board when I have a flush draw.

Yup. They are great to play and easy to disguise.

Any reasoning behind it?

Good point. I too try to get in for cheap with that type of hand.

favorite i dont know, but most weird profitable hand i play is the 6-3. Let me explain, Im playing on pokerstars and when i get 6-3 I always play it, either I get 2 pairs, 3 of a king, straight or full house. I know that its just random luck, but always happen, now for how long this strange phenomeno will go on i dont know
