Hand you muck most?
Anyone have a hand they are just allergic to? Like A6o?
I'm not really talking about such bad rags as to be unplayable, I'm talkin' personal bias. ![]() |

the only Aces i will play are A-anything suited and only A-9 higher. ive just lost too much $ playing Aces with low kickers offsuit. the odds of hitting your 2 pr with the shitty kicker are very low. However, if im in a blind with an Ace-whatever, i will play that hand 90% of the time.

I completely agree with the above post about A-x I was int he habit of putting WAY too much value on the A, and not considering the kicker. Eventually I learned to be more selective of my starting hands. the other hand I virtually refuse to play is J-9 o or s.

I am really gonna start folding QQ preflop. (not a joke) Over the last 27K hands they were up against AA or KK about 30% of the time. Even when they are not, they lose to other hands like 50% of the time. Oh yeah, the other 20% is when i win the F**KING blinds!!! ![]() |

That's just about the ONLY time I win with QQ is when I bet big enough PF that everyone folds. But then you're skeered to bet big because you know you'll get that one caller who catches and A on the board and turnes over A-rag and you think WTF and kick your dog*.
*note: I have never kicked my dog and you shouldn't either . |

I always fold A-Xo.
The last three A-A I've been dealt have been cracked, first time I thought 'it happens', second time I thought 'damn that's unlucky seeing as odds state A-A win 50% of the time', third time I seriously began to wonder what I had done to upset the poker gods. Quite like Q-8s always seem to hit with this hand. |

I hesitated before replying to this thread because there's just too many hands that I'm prepared to fold pre-flop that answering the question just wasn't worth the time it would take. But after thinking about it and actually reading the question posed by slgalt, "Anyone have a hand they are just allergic to?" I have to admit that I'm not really opposed to playing any hand if I have good odds.
I use to routinely fold hands like: 73o, 43o, J4o, 32s, 63o, Q7o, 43s, A3o, T6s, 54o, Q5s, 92s, Q9o, 93s, Q6s, 85o, 93o, K3s, K4s, J2o, Q2o, 84o, A2o, 83s, T3s, T2s, J5s, 97s, Q8s, 94s, 42s, 86o, Q6o, 86s, 32o, 74s, 53s, Q4o, J2s, 64o, J8s, K9o, K2s, J3o, 64s, 63s, 87o, 92o, 73o, 42o, Q3s, K6s, 62s, T3o, 83o, 53o, 74o, T2o, 52s, 52o, J6o, 95o, 84s, 72s, 75o, J3s, 82s (thanks zachvac for the write up). But if I'm holding one of those hands when I'm in the BB or SB with a mini-raise from the player immediately to my left followed by a long series of calls, I will make that call. The implied odds are, more often than not, huge and setting up a check-raise is very profitable. Likewise, if there is a mini or small bet made from someone in EP and there are four or more callers while I'm on the Button, I'll pay it off for the same reason. Obviously this doesn't happen too often, and that's why it's worth it (at least to me) to make the call. Past that, the only hand(s) that makes me jittery are KJ and KT from EP or Early MP. |

Thanks, I have to give credit to a guy in another Forum named Trann who said it first and put it a little differently, but it is a killer saying. Thanks alos for alerting me to it because I didn't word it out the way I really wanted it.

A recent PokerTracker3 discovery, it is telling me I should laydown AQs everytime I get it in a SnG or MTT. Since downloading PT3 a couple weeks ago, I have lost every AQs hand I have played; and have usually been knocked out of the tourney. Everytime I see it I laugh, "The hand I love to go out with."

Most of the time im playing very tight so maybe im allergic to most of them. LOL I think the hand i hate the most is 83off but there are a lot of non-playable hands. Sometimes Jacks had given me some trouble as well.

A-6/8 is the worst hand, I have been recently knocked out a couple of times with it from tournies. It doesn't really matter that I have had the best hand most of the times, but the fact that the guy with the A9 and the Q9 hit two nines just make me think before I ever push with it.
That said, you guys are seriously missing on good hands when you're not playing them all. |

It didn't start out this way, I remeber a night at Party Poker when I was still playing any paint, and I got Q5 a lot that night. Once making quad Q's, and 3 times filling QQQ55 boats. That was 2 or 3 years ago, and I plum wore them two out. Since that evening, I don't think I've hit either of them in a bb walked flop even....... ![]() |

Low Ace is trouble
OMG i had a really bad beat this last night...early tournemnt blinds 30 15 I had A3 suited of clubs, I decided to play the low ace suited....Very bad idea cause the situation i got my self into was hard to fold the hand cause i knew i was ahead and killed some of his outs. The guy ended up having A 10 suited of Spades!! The flop was 3 dimond 8 spade 7 hearts...at this point i know im ahead cause he raised to 135 preflop i put him on A10 or higher just me and him in the pot. So on flop he checks and i make the big raise being a pot bet equalling like 660 or so on the 3, thinking hes gonna fold...yeah right he follows and it rolls a 7 of spade.....i go all in and he calls and gets the flush....i was playing like a donk even playing that hand that early...... any one agree? |

For me it 9's and J's total bad luck hands - I NEVER hit or win with them. In certain situations I play them very cautiously! Sixes - I ALWAYS hit or win with them.
