For the longest time my favorite starting hand was pocket 3's. When I first started playing for real money (at a winner take all home game $20 sit n go) I made quad 3's twice in one night, as well as making a set of 3's the same night. As if that wasn't enough, the following week I made quad 3's again and hit a set of 3's twice. Granted I haven't had that much luck with them over the years (I don't believe I've ever hit quads with them again, only a handful of sets) they have always held a special place in my heart. It's only been in the last year or so that that special feeling has wore off. They were briefly replaced with pocket 4's (because I was hitting a set about 50% of the time with them) but that was just a short flirtation. Any suited ace is nice, suited Broadway cards are always attractive. I like the suited 9 10 more than other suited connectors. Suited J9, basically all those hands that are great at sucking out against big pocket pairs or sets.

72o is a good hand, when your're in a bid pot, bluff and show it, next hand the villain go all in and maybe you can be with AA haha

6-7 suited and 10-J suited are my favorites, but I'd give the edge to the 6-7 since it is usually better disguised when it hits big.

J 10 suited/off is my favorite hand. I see them as the best chance to pull a high straight and be covered both ways win big with a 8 9 Q and 7 8 9 or if the flop comes A K Q or 9 Q K, still it always depends on position, game, bubble play, tourney, blinds, etc.

It depends on how many players there are. AA and KK of course are the best.

Honestly I don't mind getting 2 7 off because there is no better feeling than bluffing someone out of the pot then flipping over the 2 7 haha but other than that obviously aa and kk (maybe not so much kk anymore cuz it cost me my first ever casino tourney loss
