For me, the most dangerous hand isn’t a specific combo like AQo or JJ, it’s the one that makes me drift away from my game plan. The moment I start making “hero” assumptions or convincing myself that this time the opponent must be bluffing, that’s when I get in trouble.

It’s funny because it’s not really the cards that trap us, but our own thoughts. Once we start guessing instead of sticking to what we’ve studied, even a hand like AKo can turn into a disaster. Discipline is definitely tougher to master than the math sometimes.

It's AA of course. It's always at least an over pair to the board and takes years of experience to know when to muck it. Some people never get there.

KK, it seems like there are about 20 Aces in the deck when I come with KK

If I raise to 4bb with AA, they usually call with all their crap cards and they get their hand on the flop, so I always go all-in preflop.

For me the most dangerous hand is always JJ, it seems very good but it always gets into trouble, sometimes you have to play very carefully because you get ripped off most of the time.

For me JJ is the most dangerous hand, it is a combination that I consider strong and weak at the same time.

Yeah AQ hand ix dangerous for me too . Generally some trap hands given to you by rng in trap spots , of course trying to trap you in a set up hand , probably to lose , so probably your exit hand . You really need to avoid such slots , make the right folds .

Every time I go all-in preflop with AK against AQ, I always flop a queen.
