I see a ton of threads asking what your favorite hand is, when it seems like the inverse might be a better question. What hand do you love playing against? For me, I swear I win some of the biggest pots against AKs/o. It's just a hand people refuse to fold to a semi dry board. If you want to say PPs or suited connectors, that's cool too, just offer up a reason! No 72o though.

I like when people have a medium pocket pair like TT or JJ and cannot let it go when there are overcards on the board (and if I obviously have one of those). Some people really fall in love with those hands and barely look at the board anymore, because they believe their hand is so strong.

I also prefer medium pocket pairs but also low and medium suited connectors. I mostly win against those hands!

I like to play with small suited connector vs AK AD while collecting flash

I like to play against all the strong hand, if they are weaker than my hand. I like to play against any of the connectors.

For many it depends on the type of game, that is turbo or hyperturbo. Sometimes the weirdest trash hands can win. Especially when you are playing someone that plays with a KA and they get beat.

I love playing against flush chasers - guys who will make just about any call with any two suited cards pre-flop, and who are never going to leave if they catch a flush draw on the flop. There's nothing more satisfying than competing against 4s5s when you have AsKs on an Ac7s8s board. Villain has only 3 outs to a non-spade gutshot and 1 out to the nut (straight) flush. He thinks that he has a monster, but he actually only has a 17.8% chance of winning the hand.

The over played hands. Nothing better than having someone putting chips in on strong pre-flop hand with continuation and coming up empty at showdown.

Of course made hands like AA, KK, QQ etc. They are favorite and strong hands most think the best hand and that you can play indifferently properly if it is a couple minor or connectors or even suited.
