Hey what do you think in your opinion are the worst starting hands.... For me I feel 10 5 (off suit) really is a terrible starting hand for me...

I would love to hear your views....

لFor me, 7.2 is the worst card.

Let me even more specific 7 2 off suited, in 7 2 suited there is that tiny spark of hope to catch 2 more colour on flop so you have a reason to stay for the turn 😀
 
72o, 73o, T3o, 62o. Well, I only play these hands if no one has raised me while I'm in the big blind 🙂

According to GTO probability, 72o, this hand doesn't fit into a sequence from 7 to 2, if you hit a card you'll have a low kicker, if you make a Flush it has two low High cards, it's only useful hitting two pair or a Full House, so it has the lowest probability compared to any other hand.
 
Because I'm pretty bad postflop, I ignore all hands below Broadway, even in a blind war.🤷‍♂️
 
72o is statistically the worst, but what's the point? There are many hands we fold preflop, depending on position, stacks etc.
If you ask about any kind of emotional connection to any hand, then my answer is there is none 🙂
 
I have this somewhat of skewed view that K10/Q10/A10(even J variants) are quite possible the worst hands for me. On paper they are strong hands, but man do they not feel strong when 3-bets/4-bets are coming in.

Total carbage? Any Royal card + 2

Ei, na sua opinião, quais são as piores mãos iniciais? Para mim, 10 5 (de naipes diferentes) é uma mão inicial realmente terrível.

Adoraria ouvir a sua opinião...

For me, the lowest is 10 2 to 7 2, but there are those who may be lucky, they win with worse cards, they get a match or two matches, and they defeat an AK or AA, so the poker game is variable.
 
it starts to get dodgy playing non-AJ/KT 2-gappers, but from the 3-gappers on all the hands are pretty much trash!
 
I don’t think there can really be a “worst hand,” because you can have 72o and still hit a full house. I think every hand should be played individually, depending on the context of the hand.
 
One very weak card combination is 2 and 6. Its peculiarity is that it has the potential to make a straight. The condition must be met—there are already 5, 4, and 3 on the board. If this hand makes a straight, it risks being dominated.
 
For me, it’s AJ on 888poker. 😂 I lose with it like 95% of the time. But on CoinPoker and GGPoker, it’s a completely different story — it’s more like 50/50. I don’t know why I have such bad luck with that hand on 888poker.
