What is your NEMESIS HAND ?

[ChickenArise]

The nemesis hand is the hand you almost always get cracked with. It is the hand that you most often get knocked out of tournaments with.

Bonus Question: Has this changed the way you approach playing the hand?

KK is at the top of my list. QQ is a close second.

I will still raise with them but am just calling reraises and seeing flops more in tournament play as opposed to reraising.

My nemesis hand is AK; i don't know how it happens but seems to me i always lose with this hand or even worst i'm getting kick out of tournaments. Probably my mistake is that i over valuate it.

My worst bad beats or coolers are 1/ AA whenever I am early position and holding more or less 20-25 Big blinds it gets crushed by all kind of sets and flushes whatever I do All in preflop//raising limping nothing seems to work unless I 3bet shove it gets better if I am in a good position or on the blinds 2/2nd one is with Queens on the button I get them crushed always by 10-10 who gets all kind of sets and straights or by kings if it's a dry board. 3/10-10 when I am on the blinds and call someone who shoved preflop seemingly all the lower pairs 22--99 get their sets but never my tens.

Well, it's probably KK's hand. I'm leaving the tournament with her often.

Pretty much any hand against an all-in sit out on ACR. The good news is that they don't hurt hurt your stack when they inevitably suck out. The bad news is that I am pretty much guaranteed to lose the first run-in with any of them. It doesn't matter if there are three or four other players in the pot. That all-in sit out will normally prevail. But, to answer your question more directly, A 10 seems to set me up for trouble even when I play it conservatively.

My Nemesis hand is JJ . Opponent has QQ,KK ,AA, AQ, AK and win.

A-K


You could say that of the last 20 hands that I played preflop with A-K, I lost 15 (although 888poker is very special) but yes, lately the A-K is not very good

Those hands split my head to the fat white meat the majority of the time!

J 10 s . I've been burnt many times the past couple times going against it.

 

[Abubakarovich]

JJ 1010. Very often I lose with them, but I can not throw them off.

QQ or QJs

My least favourite hand is 7-2o. I never make money with this hand.

JJ's

Ohhhhhhhh how we don't get along! I have tried and tried to be friends with you but you keep pushing me away. I've tried to see things your way but have failed there as well. I just pray that someday you will reconsider your position and we mend our estranged relationship. I do truly love you but I hate you...
