Do you have a hand that seems to be your "hex hand?"

I hate 10s as well. Theres an idea... spanish 21 texas hold'em

Yes,

AA

BF

85 soooted, have won quite a few big pots with this hand recently, and just know that i won't be able to fold it for the next few times i am dealt it.

No, it should be easy... just hit the fold button.

New hex hand:

KK

I have never won a hand with pocket Ks unless I bet enough to make everyone fold (which is what I try to do after I make a big-raise pre-flop then follow up post-flop with an all-in or so)

AQ is the devil.

My bad beat woe is now so great my new hex hand has improved from KK to AA, last one being beaten by a reraised all-in 10,7 off hitting quads sevens (see other thread). I love poker....

I hate A 10 of hearts. Im cool with any other combo of A 10 but bad things seem to happen to me when they are hearts

I got me a straight flush with J10 earlier

Whenever I get Queens, someone else has aces. Whenever my opponent has Queens, he gets quads. True story.

JJ is my hex hand. In 4000 hands played, I have lost 44 dollars with JJ playing 10max and 25max. I have lost more with JJ than any other hand in that 4000 hand stretch.

10s.... I hate pocket 10s. Its not that I play them wrong, I just have BAD luck. I run into Jacks, Aces, 2 overs that always hit, or if I'm ahead I get the suck out.

Any and every hand is evil and awful.

LMAO, bad day eh?

Yes

I love A9 suited... god it's a beautiful thing when I always hit 2 pair or flop a flush draw. I hate JJ... I'd rather have 1010 no lie. JJ is just a godawful, here's come my raise, ok 2 people call, and the board comes AK4. Everytime my friend, every fu**ing time.

People mentioned J10s, but that is so hard for me to list. It's the best suited connector in the game. Makes the most nut hands.

My hex would probably be JJ.

k10 gus hansen likes it . I fold it now ,never even comes close to hitting for me

This just started lately, but the last 3-4 times I've been dealt KK, my raise always seems to get called by two under cards, and they make two pair on the flop. I want people calling with hands like that... but it still sucks when they hit several times in a row.

I have read all of the "hex hand" stories and feel your pain. Now let me tell you mine..........the ever popular, most loved AK - yes Big Slick. I rarely win with this set of cards. It has cost me more chips than I even want to remember. I see those 2 cards in my hand and I swear I want to cry WHY ME!!!!!!!!!

I have one a FEW times with JJ, mostly but it usually isn't because I had a pair of jacks lol. It's either the 1 in a billion sets, the more common straight with it, and the very common 4-suited board and I have a J which gives me a higher flush.

If by hex hand you mean favourite hand - then its got to be AT - I would limp or raise in position with this anyday as I always seem to pair the T as high card on the board.
Some reason, it always induces bets which I then take down with a RR

Ow, or 22/33 because I seem to hit my set alot here :-D

Someone else having kj against me. I lose lose lose lose and lose some more against them. What I have and how I play it is pretty much irrelevent if they have them it seems.

I dont have any favorite starting hands, its all about the flop. I dont like pp's below 10 at all. Rather have suited connectors. 23 is as good as pp 2's - 5's for me. Then again, pretty much all of those is all about the flop.

I don't really have one. AQo of late hasn't been too friendly though I still like to seem them.

I love JJ just like I do all big pockets...
