Which hand do you like to get jiggy with, yet know you shouldn't?

#1 15th July 2006, 8:14 PM

We all have those 1 or 2 hands that look alright when you see them, yet you know you shouldn't play them (many times) because it just gets you in trouble. While this has not gotten me in trouble much recently, A-7 sooooted was that hand for me...especially when I busted out in 4 straight MTTs with that hand.

The great Camel ball-licker - 3J - however, is one of my favorite trash hands to play like Aces on occasion.

A-J off.

#3 15th July 2006, 8:54 PM

I don't know why, but Q/9 suited. Now, I won't go completely insane and call raises with it, but I do like to play it--even though I know I should be hee-hawing while I do.

#4 15th July 2006, 9:06 PM

wasn't there another thread about this recently?

my donk hand has to be KQ. If I hit a king or queen, guaranteed i'll pay you off for anything you hold :P

#5 15th July 2006, 9:15 PM

I have a nasty habit of overplaying AQ, though I think I've addressed the problem recently, so no biggie. >.>

#6 15th July 2006, 9:30 PM

I have no reason why, but I have an itch to play Q5 suited whenever I get it.

#7 15th July 2006, 10:23 PM

I have a real problem with A J off. I treat it like gold and always over play the heck out of it. I always pay dearly for that stupid hand.

#8 16th July 2006, 12:30 AM

The most over-rated hand of all time:-

Low suited Aces!! Absolute FACT

If you call large raises with these, you need shooting

In fact, keep that quiet, I must get called by 20 people a day with them, much to my delight.

(my weakness 10-8 hearts)

Mine is A/8, the deadman's hand, although I usually win with it so....

I have a buddy who wins with 6/9 far too many times. It's got to the point where he raises with it no matter what position. We all know he has it but one of us usually has a hand to play against him and regret it by the river.

i have a very optimistic view of 5-7 diamonds.

#11 16th July 2006, 9:01 AM

I can't help but play K7. When I look at it, it reminds of that group k7 that had that one hit back in the early 90's...

wasnt it L7, 'Pretend that we're dead'?
Anyway, back to the question. QT is always a nice one for me, particularly clubs(?), the amount of times AKJ flops is unreal when I've had that hand.

Any suited connectors and by the way that will smith song is a classic

I think that's what he was referring too...

My trouble hand would have to be K-10. It looks soooo good but treats me soooooooo bad.

I have another trouble hand that would be any hand that I'm in heads up with Buckster.

#17 17th July 2006, 6:48 PM

I love J9 or JT suited. I have flopped so many straights and flushes with that hand. Even a straight flush the other day on the turn. Only problem is with the flush, its only J high. Other than that I guess the hand I play the most and lose with would be A5 suited. I love the possibilities, but they rarely come.

My short term memory hasn't been the same since I got that metal plate in my head.. Now everytime someone fires up the microwave I piss myself and forget who I am for a half an hour...

Christmas Vacation..funny flick.. I should have known it was too much of a coincidence though

#19 17th July 2006, 9:06 PM

i always find myself getting nasty with k8s it turns out ok for me mst ofthe time but i still shouldn't play it

#20 17th July 2006, 11:39 PM

The K,10 and the A,J.. they are at this particular moment in time my demon hands.. It used to be pocket 44's and K,Q...

Medicore hands that no matter how I play them..they get the best of me.

#21 18th July 2006, 6:22 AM

I'm not really sure about my favorite, but i think I'm going to start making it any Q with a good kicker - 9 or higher maybe. Is it just me or when the high Q comes up, isnt it a 98% chance that everyone is going to check? What the hey? Come on, it's a lady up top, and dont we all like a lady on top? Wait a minute, where am I going with this?

#22 18th July 2006, 7:26 AM

This is my Big Trouble hand

Looks the business and leads me into many a dark alley

#23 18th July 2006, 12:06 PM

I used to think Doyle Brunson was talking bull when he said he never plays AQ (especially since his signature hand is 10-2)... however having moved all-in with it on a queen flop a couple of days ago in a cash game, I can see where he's coming from...

#24 18th July 2006, 1:10 PM

A-J, J-10, J-J............ although I am getting better at mucking em when it is obvious the other player has me beat.

#25 18th July 2006, 1:16 PM

For me it has to be K9..doesn't matter if it's suited or not...I see it and apparently go into some kind of trance since I have a hard time laying it down!!
