Favorite hands

what is it with people and their "favorite hand" or is that just an excuse for those who call 5x raises with a 78 os?

Note to admins there is no substance in this response other then the Green Leafy one in front of me.

KK

Not a hand I like better.



Trash

my favorite hand is KJ of clubs idk why but i usually get a flush or straights with it i guess you can call it my lucky hand. also 89 of diamonds is my second favorite hand because it can usually suckout against any higher pair

33
my birthday, and lucky number in general.

Of course, I can't remember the last time I won with it, so maybe it's not so lucky. Also play Q-3 suited a lot, so I guess that's my favorite stupid hand.

AA

It usually comes from winning a nice pot with an odd hand or something and the player will over value it. It's fine to have a favorite hand but no reason to go Ape Spit with K 8 offsuit in early position, unless your looking to loose money or get lucky.

Get lucky? got any phone numbers??

Sorry no content there just having fun.

K9 spades..

Dont know why, but I just do...

I don't have a favorite hand, but I have a hand that my friends named after me. They call the 2-3 offsuit the Register (which happens to be my last name). The joke is that the 2-3os is like Mike Register, rarely ever wins but when it does everyone hears about it.

I think many people who see their (so called favorite hand) live and die with it.
They see it--they play it...period.
There are as we all know(or should all know)many times we should use our heads...not our favorite hands.
I've seen people miss the bubble, or get knocked out of a tourney--because they played their(favorite hand )against a tight player--who shoved all-in).
Just remember think before you call--or it might cost you.
P>S: Love 8 10s---Hate J 9--unless its in my flop.

A8 of spades, cause I just doubled up in the trny im in. Ive never really had a "favorite hand," but I am kind of partial to J10.

The favorite hand thing can just be an excuse, but then look at Doyle Brunson who won the wsop twice with 10 4 off.

Personally, I tend to always catch something when I get Q8 spades, so you could say that is my favorite hand.

But I would still rather get AA any day

i believe it was 10 2 o

My favorite hand would be any hand to i feel comfortable with. Because in certain situation i might fold anything.

My favorite hand is kind of a tie between...

Favorites ... AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs
next fav's ... TT, AQs, AJs, KQs, AK

Actually, I have eight different "levels" of favorite, I like to call them "groups"

Do you see where this is going?

Drawing hands like T8s or 78s are lower % hands that have potential for large payoffs when they hit, but by assigning "favorite hand" status to them, you are likely to call larger bets than you should and letting desire cloud reason.

Also, Doyle has said many times that he does not consider T2 to be his lucky hand, but rather a hand that he happened to get lucky with two times, in two different ways.

My favorite hand...the winner! I don't have a favorite hand. Heck, even Doyle says that he's lost more money on 10 2 than he ever won with it. And, in case you haven't watched High Stakes Poker, now he usually symbolically spits on his hole cards as he folds 10 2!

Don't ask me why, but mine is K9 suited. Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment

aq suited or ak suited and ofcourse aa/kk/qq/jj

My favorite are pockets 8's I hit a set nearly 70% of the time. My least favorite is Jacks or Kings. I always lose with J's and it always seems and A comes on the flop when I have K's

Does that mean you give up on your K's?

I think people have favorite hands to help make the game a little bit more interesting for them. I have a buddy who absolutely loves to play 27o hard. The one time I actually seen him win with them he was ecstatic.

I wouldn't say I have a favorite hand but I definitely have a least favorite hand...

AJ

...I can never win with them. And, when I do hit, I end up busting out to a better hand.

You and I must think from the same think tank..

I will limp in with K 9 everytime, but [Ks] [9s] now thats a new ballgame and I will go that little bit further with it..

If this is a meaningful post, I want in on it. My favorite hands are any hands that win. ???
