It used to be snowmen, but at the moment, I just can't resist Dolly Parton. I will play, if it doesn't cost too much, but I am out if things get freaky.

Take this statement to another unrelated forum or say it out loud on public transport - and the meaning totally changes.

It's difficult to find a specific hand to fold pre-flop, especially because poker is very dynamic and you have to be aware of these variations in each player's changes in posture all the time.

This is probably the hand I lost the most with. I'm just afraid of this hand and I usually fold it. But of course, like most of us, I have exceptions :)

I get a bigger "kick" when I have KK compared to AA for some reason... and there's something about 10-J.:devilish:

AQ or AQs , it is a good set up hand to lure you to use it and cripple your stack or make you lose . Not even AA is safe nowadays . All other hands need to be played (online) carefully , taking into consideration all factors , such as stack and position. AJ also and JJ and QQ .

From all these hands I don't know ,maybe JJ is the worst for me , if i had to choose only one . But the truth is that all have given me bad beats (in bad spots deep in a tourney , close to itm , or close to FT , etc shi**"y hands

my favorite hand is KQ, suited or unsuited I play with too much confidence in it, and even small pairs I sometimes want to steal pots with it

Of course, my hands are “AK”, “JJ” and “1010”. I can't fold them even against the most tight player at the table. I've already practiced folding “AJ” and “AQ”, but the above-mentioned hands I can't yet. Of course, everything depends on the opponent, and if I have reliable information that my rival plays only with monster hands against me, then of course I will adapt to his game. :unsure:

I can lay down any hand if the situation says to. Having said that, I find the hardest hand is JT suited, because it is the best drawing hand . Especially if someone 3 bets all in after I raise. More than likely I am calling unless their are payout implications.

For me it would be JJ, it's the trickiest hand in poker and I still can't find a way not to play it

I like playing 7 2 when I am small or big blind, simply because in online poker it wins pretty frequently for being the worst hand you can be dealt pre-flop.

Oh, definely 98 suited. It's that hand that hurts me to fold, because I love playing pos flop with it. I won't get attached to it because they are low cards (no figure) and it's easy to play draws agressively with them. It's my guilty pleasure for sure

Well, I couldn't name just one, but I intend to take risks with some hands, sometimes even in UTG position, they are:

- KT suits.
- QT suits.
- J9 of the same suit.

I can say that they are my Achilles heels when it comes to that voice in my head "Play, you will hit a flush, a straight, 2 pair or even a set"

It's the devil in one ear and the little angel in the other. 👹 😇

But I don't always play these hands, when I play them I only fold for much higher raises in relation to the big blind.

I like 9K suited. I have to play it because I love 9 any suit for some reason the K seems to shows up alot. I only fold it if there is an all-in bet .

I can't drop 9 9, I always play with this card.My levels of thinking stumble over falling in love and overestimating the strength of my hand, the desire to check whether my opponent is really stronger.If you understand that a player only cares about his cards, he plays at the first level, you should move up to the second, just guessing what he plays. Do not move up. Advanced play against simple opponents will often have unpleasant consequences.

I love 8/9 suited, I'll call or make small raises with it. It's a fun hand to play.

I think I have a great weakness for playing the K5 hand of the same suit, I do it because every time I play with that hand it always turns out very well most of the time.

For me, it's probably AT. It's not easy to fold with this hand, but it's not easy to play either. But in general, I think it all depends on the situation. Although I definitely lost more than I gained with this hand :)

I like hearts.... doesn't matter if it's K9, 83, 56,..., ok it matters but I like hearts,

luckily I realize I just like hearts so it doesn't cause too many problems lol,

I also like pocket fours, one might even say they're magic😏....

folding depends on blinds, chip stacks, etc. 👍

For me it's 10 8 of diamonds 🙈.
Won a big hand with it like once, and now I play it sometimes hoping to get lucky.

So in perfect Billi style, my guilty pleasure is not so much a hand over the fact when my tummy says do it, no matter what is in my hole cards....they are played 80% of the time.

The 20% of the time they are not played is when I am in team league and do not want to give my teammates an aneurysm lol The people who have played with me a lot have learned to hate it when I say, "I had a feeling :p" or a 3 pops up on the board :p

Marcs says, 44 is the jam...he is only slightly off :p 3's are my number, they always have been and always will. 0 guilty feelings about that though :p

Then my bonus guilty pleasure is seeing people get angry and put my range in the wrong spot :) I find that very enjoyable as well.

Great question Donna :) I love poker's guilty pleasures :p
