What do you even mean by that question?
Pros do win big final tables win non-premium hands.
Even a 46o can be a monster.

There are no weak hands, it's just that you lack confidence in them.

JTs = Jack-Ten suited
T9s = Ten-Nine suited
76s = Seven-Six suited
AQs = Ace-Queen suited
98s / 87s = Nine-Eight suited / Eight-Seven suited

76s is more fun than AA.

A5s is pretty strong....

I suppose it also depends what you define as premium?

AA, KK, QQ, JJ?
AKs, AKo, AQs, AQo, AJs, KQs?

If the above is premium, then you would have to say that the best no premium hands would be TT, AJo, and KQo, maybe add in QJs

Is there an actual definition of premium hands in poker.....anyone enlighten us??
