If you do, what is your favorite hand? What do you think that says about you?

If you don't have a favorite hand, what do you think about players that do?

To me the answer either way lends to personality and preferences.

My favorite is any non-AA pair that makes a set on the flop against an AA that didn't bet enough pre-flop to keep me out of the hand.

I really love people who limp in preflop w/ AA, then decide to start betting on a flop that made me two pair or a set.

I like suited connectors as when they hit I usually win big. A big aces u can always loose with but a nice straight is sweet

My favorite hand is 99 (The Gretzky) it probably says that I like hockey far too much, 97s (The McDavid) is becoming a favorite though.

This. Hitting a set on a dry flop whereby villain has top pair are IMO the most profitable hands.

Big blind specials that hit the flop hard against someone who limps big pairs is always enjoyable, but no favorite hand.

My favorite hand is the AA most always the villain who goes all in preflop is always going to have his 20% hit and break my AA.

I do not have a specific favorite hand, for me my favorite hand is with which the money in the bank turns out to be in my account) Those players who have it I believe that these are beginning players.

I do not have favorite hand, except AA of course. I look more on situations and, based on circumstances, decide how good my hand is.

I think players who do have favorite hands are superstitious. From pure mathematical chances, there shouldnt be favorite hands - any hand is as good as the other, depending on circumstances.

Low pocket pairs that I can limp with, that hit a set on the flop... that is always a favorite with me (and everyone else, too, I think) as the price is right and the profits can be enormous...
