KJs, usually don't hit the flush and lose to KQ or AJ.

Let me guess, the guy puts allin in the blind with 10 10. And he says that he is unlucky

For me, one of the most “unlucky” hands often feels like pocket jacks (JJ). It’s strong enough to raise preflop, but it can quickly become uncomfortable if an ace, king, or queen appears on the flop. Many times it feels like you’re either slightly ahead or already beaten.
Another hand that can feel unlucky is Ace-King (AK) when it completely misses the flop. It looks powerful before the flop, but if you don’t connect, it can be difficult to continue against strong pressure.
Of course, in reality no hand is truly “unlucky” — it’s just variance. But every poker player seems to have that one hand that never seems to work out for them. 😄

I hate pocket kings is all I have to say. They break my heart again and again. Many people don't like Jack's but I would take them anytime.

Facts JJ is so strong when you see it preflop, but as soon as that flop comes, it shrinks up. And I also love that you touched on the AK, one of the most 50/50 hand, once you are up against a pair, it's a pure flip, imagine having AK suited and losing to 22, that's so frustrating bro, AK is only good when it's up against another Ace, ex: AQ,AJ etc

I swear every time I get pocket Tens, something bad happens! Do you have a hand that always seems cursed?
But if you are sure that a TT is a bad sign for you, then why don't you just fold and avoid the "something bad" that could happen? :unsure:

KJ and KK. Almost every time comes an A on the flop and these hands are over.

Honestly, I'm terrified of high pairs; I always get a set or a pair higher than mine.

For me it’s pocket queens. They always look strong before the flop but somehow end up putting me in tough spots. Either I get too confident with them or I run into a better hand. I also don’t really trust ace jack. It looks like a premium hand but postflop it feels awkward and hard to read.

AK, this is a hand that often takes your chips.
