Whats your favorite starting holdem hand and why? Its easy for most to say AA but im sure some of you guys have some stories about why other hands are your favorite.

Mine is J10 suited, I made my only royal flush with it as well as a 7-J straight flush. I love J10 as much as I do AA =)

What about everyone else?

Like Doyle Brunson says "give me AA anytime". But I love hands like JJ or 88. These hands are difficult to play and are tricky. Lots of people dont know how to play these hands and usually bust out on them. Usually they think JJ is the nuts but it is dangerous post flop. Your senses need to be in fine tune when coming in with these hands,. Having good reads on your opponents. Lots of drama with these hands.

I like:

1) JackKingOff
2) The two winning cards: AA is no good if it doesn't win :)
3) 83/Q4/K10 if I can see a cheap limp

88 and anything with a 9. Also looking at Pokertracker I have a perfect 13/13 winrate with pocket Kings, thats awesome and although I was favourite on each occasion it still feel amazing to win on each and every occasion.

10-10 always screws me, even when i hit a set... and i like looking at KK just about more than anything but in the past week i don't think i've seen a flop without an A in it when holding kowboys... But for my favorite hands, i'll say KQs, 77, and 9Ts.

My favorite starting hand is 27 so I can fold and not get sucked out on river by some poker neophite. lol. I really like j 10 suited a lot. you got lots of outs and if a qka flop you will get others to call your nut straight. I also like it because if you don't hit anything on flop it is easy to fold.

My favorite hand would have to be 10-9s. Preferably diamonds, but I suppose the suit doesn't matter. It's just, well, I guess... diamonds rock lol.
