Why do I find K/10 in my hand so alluring???

[whitetailbuck10]

So the last few weeks I have been seeing (or at least remembering) a lot of K/T on and off suit pre flop...... every time I see it now I get this strange rush of "oh yes here I go with a power hand"...... luckily I take a few seconds and look at my position before jumping on that instinct..... But WHY does my brain keep thinking that is such a great hand???? It is such a scary hand because you are in the middle of everything but my brain wants to jump all over it........ does anyone else have anything like this happen to them??

Hi KTs. it's a good hand but it's very vulnerable you have to know how to fold it. in time because it can lead you to lose many times

Marc, I think you got a crush! 🤣

But that's okay. 🤪

Haha maybe you have won a few nice pots with them recently and have good memories about the hand?

I don't really recall any hand I get very excited when I see it. Maybe some monsters like KK or AA but who wouldn't? Unfortunately that happens too rarely recently. 😛

It's one of those good/risky hands that isn't that easy to play but can net you quite some $$. Personally I like playing it from late positions and defending blinds with it, but as it was said already, you must really know when to fold it.

I always get that feeling especially when they are suited, I remember once on-line I was in a tough spot with less than 10 BBs left and moved all-in with K/10 of Hearts, BOOM! the flop gave me my very first Royal Flush and I was laughing as the other 2 players were battling over the pot betting on the flop turn and river trying to get each other off it.
Nice treble up and finished on the FT.

We could start a support group for you!

Or we could start a new poker variant where KT wins automatically.

The truth is that KT can work magic.....but depending on how many callers or raisers there are preflop - it could also be a trouble hand.

There - I said it!

Honestly, I would never go all in with K 10, unless I dominated the table in chips or was in an advantageous position against the SB and BB, it is the same case with JJ, that hand is the one that gives me the most distrust of playing all in

From love to hate is just one step!!! It's worth losing important hands with this hand several times and you will have completely different associations))) So it's better not to lose your head from the very beginning, so that later there will be no negative memories!!!

I have the same feeling. Recently I found out that only Aces and pocket pairs makes sense to play.. Kings and the rest always loose against Aces..Sometimes Kings but still..
And also found out that tight still is the most effective(MTT - tournaments). Try to open it up and always loose...Favorite Hand: Ax-suited, Ax, pairs.

Each player has his own hand that he likes, I like it very much J10

I like JT top, but did not bring me much profit..
