Gonna post the obvious.. Doyle Brunson - 10/2

There was an episode of NBC Heads Up Poker where the players said what their favorite hand was.. no surprise, there were a lot of AA's

I don't know any hand specifically, but I know a lot of pros just love the 9-T suited connectors...

I don't know of a book or article about favorite hands, but there is a book called The Best Hand I Ever Played by Steve Rosenbloom of ESPN who interviewed 52 of the top pros.

I'm pretty sure Helmuths fave hand is 9c9s.. the hand he won his wsop ME title against Johnny Chan with.

My fave hand is 63 suited... that or rockets :D

A9 is Jesus' favourite hand cos he won the Main Event with it back in 2000.

YouTube- Final Hand of WSOP 2000

If I were to win the ME, whatever hand I won it with would be my favourite too FOREVER!!

Nice river, even Jesus needs a lil luck once in a while ha ha.

Not really a favorite but J-4os has become my 10-2 in my monthly home game.

Was shortstacked and decided to go all in with any two cards and was called by pocket K's. Hit a Jack on the flop and a 4 on the turn to beat the Kings and now everyone in the monthly game refers to it as my hand.

Have to play it once a game just for fun!
:cool:
