Speaking personally I feel that AA is generally under-rated by certain players. For me i tend to over-rate 10's J's and J 10s

Many players do not know how to play AA correctly, therefore I believe it is a misunderstood hand.

I also feel that J-10 is overrated. Many players see this hand played on TV and do not understand the circumstances and why the hand is played, etc.

I think AQ/AJ/AT are also overrated hands. These are solid starting hands, but they can also get you into a lot of trouble if you think every time you make top pair, your hand is good...

Overrated by fish? Ace-rag/Ace-rag suited, no contest.

I can't decide, It's either KQ or pocket J's. Both seem to look a hole lot nicer than they actually play.

AA is still only the lowest hand you can have besides nothing of course, id say AA coz people go mad on them only to be beaten by 2 pair onwards of poop like 7's and 10's

AceJack actually I think I will have to go with acejack and anything below it. I believe statistically the lowest EV hands are the ragged aces...

That's the one. If AK is Big Slick, AJ should be nicknamed Big Trouble.

A,K and A,Q... How many times you see all in calls pre flop with those two hands because some reason you have a chance.

You see a lot of that on those cards and they don't look so hot when 2 small pair beat your big cards! It's called "Burn Baby Burn" LOL It hurts darn bad if your on the losing end.

Gosh this is a tough one, I think maybe QQ. I love it and hate it. ok you put you big bet in, ya get called, your hoping by a lower pocket pair. But most likely its going to be Ax Kx. So if A or K hit the board your in a world of trouble.
And even if ya hit trips, someone is probably going to make a straight, which has happened to me.

I think the most overrated hand in poker is any hand I'm holding.
