Any starting hand that would have lost by the river

Hello.
In general, I just don't play with hands that aren't my favorites. Of course there are different situations, but I prefer to be patient and take risks when my cards are worth the risk.

My not quite favorite hand is JJ, I don't quite understand how to play them! This hand is very problematic for me and I lose big pots with it very often! But this is probably not in the hand, but in my knowledge, I think that we need to work on them, and especially on this hand! Good luck to everyone at the tables!

I often lose with a couple of jacks and kings. They used to come in well. But the most favorite is 9 9 very often, a hidden set comes. In general, the hidden set is the most favorite hand, you can safely raise and almost always win.

AJo, ATo, A9o, A8o.
These are probably my least favorite pocket cards. Sometimes, I don't even play with them, but of course it all depends on the situation.

Ace jack is a hand that is rarely played.

Low range of cards, different suits and far from each other for collecting straight, for example 2-7, 2-9 are garbage cards, you will lose more when playing them.

It's easy to say you hate 72 offsuit since it is the worst hand in the game, but to me that's nothing, because you're likely going to fold it every time you see it, which means you lost nothing.

The real trouble is the strong hands that you can't get away from. Say you have pocket aces but there's a straight or flush draw on the board. Maybe somebody else hit a set. I hate having this hand in this situation because I am at risk of losing a lot of money due to inability to fold. On a related note, I LOVE having a flush when my opponent has pocket aces! ;)

Suited Aces might as well be junk at the bubble.

Today, MTT, I am about to be blinded out, get dealt A4diamonds. I shove and hope. Opponent shoves back with 99off, and wins. When does 99off ever win?
I don't feel so bad losing, everybody else lost to my opponent, that player won the entire tournament, placed first Congrats to the winner.
As per usual form, my suited ace finished 3 OTM. Only good news: my suited ace is over due for a win.

I think AA is the best starting hand. It is not for nothing that this pair is the first in the pair table.
But among the combinations, the pair is in last place, above are two pairs, a set, and so on. If my AA did not strengthen on the flop, then they become one of the worst hands for me in this session of the game

72o, 23o, such low cards can be used as speculated hands, the problem is, even if you hit a miraculous flop, you can get bad beated quite easily by someone called and has just an over pair.

My least favorite hand is any suited pair. It gives me the feeling something funny is going on with the deck. :eek:

Pocket tens seem to be my worst starting hands that seem to lose almost all the time for me. I don’t hate them I just seem to lose most the time I play them.

A 10 off suit seems like nothing but trouble to me.

I've always read that the worst starting hand statistically speaking is 72. Maybe for me personally, could be 42 or 52.

The worst hand of poker, 27. But of the "good hands", AJ is my least favorite.
