1. AQ suited or JJ (54% to 46%)
2. AK suited or QQ (even though the odds favor the QQ -56/44)
3. 77 or A 10 off (even though the odds favor 77 - 57/43)
4. 98 suited or J 10 off (61% to 39%)
5. KQ off or 9 9 (56% - 44%)

1. AQ
2. QQ
3. A 10
4. 98
5. 9 9

In looking at the various choices, it seems that most, to one extent or another factor in choices based on personal experience, observation or just plain personal quirks. In my own case, although I picked 99, I really hate playing it anywhere but late position and even then, I have to think about it. Never had real good luck with it.

I'll always take the made hand as opposed to the draw, but if I have to draw, give me suited cards to draw with.

2. AK suited or QQ
this would probably be my answer,i figure i would just try for the blinds,with a minimum raise.
depending that is on how my small and big blinds have been playing.
Also depends on my chip stack.

Same as you with 1 change. The A-10 was a toss-up. And if short-stacked, I'll take the JJ and go all-in.

It depends on the situation (who I'm playing against, stack sizes, etc.) but generally:

1. JJ
2. QQ
3. 77
4. J 10 off
5. 99

#10 24th December 2008, 5:25 PM

1. JJ (in most positions I'd rather have the AQ suited, but on the button I'll take the jacks)
2. QQ
3. A 10 off
4. 98 suited
5. 99

#11 24th December 2008, 9:59 PM

1. AQ suited or JJ
2. AK suited or QQ
3. 77 or A 10 off
4. 98 suited or J 10 off
5. KQ off or 9 9

would you not want to chose the best starrting hand in those situations. JJ or QQ I would take anytime over the other hands you would take. Please explain the logic behind taking the hands you would take?? I just don't see it.
