AJ or JJ. So hard to gauge where you are against the other players.

AQ looks good, but always lose with it.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]my least favorite hand is one where you play AK and your kamikaze opponent plays 2/3 and makes a pair of 22 and beats you.[/COLOR]​

My most unloved hand is any pocket bunch that with an open flop and a turn involves a straight draw or a flash draw. To a greater extent, nothing of yours is on the river and the cards of other players win.)):eek::confused::rolleyes:

A/Q No Doubts here as can get beat by a single king but if you had a/k your gold, so unless they have K/K which is rare you get beat.

You have a better chance catching a straight while a/a is just that and never anything more unless you hav a board with k/q/j/10 kind of rare at that and a/k would be much better, So like the a/k over a/a

What is your least favorite good hand?

With QQ, I always seem to either win small or lose big. It’s often worth a 3bet preflop, sometimes even a 4bet. But hard to put down if A or K shows up on the community cards. Seems to be harder to hide a set of Qs than a set of 2s.

K10o has given me the most trouble lately, never seem to hit a straight when I'm open ended.

For me it’s a pair of AA, I lose more often than I win, I’m probably a strange player, but I like to play with a pair of 22 this is my favorite pair of cards.

I think KQ or KJ can often be a nightmare. You are in no man's land if anyone raises (let alone re-raises) but you have to play them.

In terms of hands I genuinely groan about - it has to be middling suited connectors such as 8 9 of hearts. Obviously, in broadening any range this is the type of hand you should enter pots with. All I can say is I wish this was a stat I had bother to keep because with middling pairs I can barely recall times when such cards have paid off.

Middling suited connectors so frequently fail (for me) that for sometime I have stuck to suited broadways, this said, see above!

Hard to tell between TT or JJ. Both have put me in tough situations that haven't been profitable.

I think I'll go with JJ ... cursed hand I'm telling you.

I like AKs, you have many possibilities to connect something good on the flop, turn or river even.

AJo uniquely. It seems to be quite a powerful hand, but often has to be thrown away

JJ for because they could always have A K Q and in a flop it is very dangerous, it makes me doubtful unless another J or low cards come, but it is misleading to my liking

I am not talking about a 2 7 off suited. For example, for me it is J J. I seem to misplay that hand or have bad luck more often than not.


Jacks are like a heavy backpack. And it’s hard to drag, and it’s a pity to throw it out :)
