Cursed Hand?

[MrPokerVerse]

When I ran my HH few years after playing quit a bit, A Q was a huge leak. From hand analysis, was playing to strong from any position but major problem was from EP.

Once corrected, it fell back to be a profitable hand. It was interesting getting that hand and playing it differently though.

Yeah, AQ is quite tricky. And to me cursed hands are surprisingly AA and KK. Hmm maybe it's too exaggerate to say they are cursed to me. But usually I expect them super strong but quite a few times they betray me. As they are strong but not perfect.

Any hands lose. You have to accept that.

 

[perrywh]

Easy to fix problem!!! Run any time you see AQ anywhere!!! Lol!

 

[JAAMEZz]

ACES!!! i so rarley hold with them. if i slow play they get cracked, if i agro play they get folded. they always seem to get busted by sets. so ridic!

 

[slais_pro]

KK, here's a combination I've been losing a lot lately.

 

[natelearnspoker]

I lose a lot with AK in coin flips with a lower pocket pair.

 

[wizz99]

JJ, for me. To be played with much caution!

 

[nba2009]

hahaha JJ's pair is terrible there is no way for me to ever get this hand forward in a pot or victorious haha ​​I always end up losing the hand sometimes due to variance sometimes due to playing it wrong

 

[Mahdi]

I feel with AQ I always see K on the board and no pair for me

that damn hand, use it to your advantage, don't play all in, raise the bet, take it to the river, you know that he has KA on the river, he can't call you, you have the advantage, you have to know that entering the bubble QA always has the advantage ,,, use it wisely

 

[skalibur]

REALLY

not really just for you, I just played AQ spades on the table, flopped QKQ I said I won kkkk I bet everything on the turn came 8 on the river came 9 my birthday was Q8 was ALLIN I AQ birthday with Q8 AND table QKQ89 AND PER

AJ is historically the hand. Lately, it's pocket kings. Can't fold it pre-flop and hate to fold it unless an Ace is showing.

You don't understand. It's not the way I play it, I lose to it and when it's on the board.

Sometimes I can't win if 88 against me.

 

[akgross]

AQ must be played carefully as this is an apparent advantage of your ace in hand. I like this pair of cards being suited to trade. I go to the bank only when absolutely necessary.

 

[gaarsiass]

hmm. Most often I have a similar situation with TT, but I always try to use it in the best possible way.
I believe that each hand is different, but this hand usually deprives me of chips.

For me my damn hand is QQ, a good hand theoretically but I lose with it more than 80% of the time, but of course I keep playing it.

Again, any good hand you lose with more than the expected % of time is either variance or bad play. 80% losses with QQ is just wrong (a fold is different from a loss).
Why do you keep playing them when A/K hits the flop? Do you reign in when straight and flush draws appear?

I think you need to be comfortable with letting a good hand go once it is no longer the winning hand, or it does not have sufficient outs to improve it. This is easier said than done of course, and specifically one of my own leaks. Play range against range. You'll stop losing your shirt with bad bluffs to bluff catchers too.

See you at the felt.
Cheers,

For me, such a hand, as if it were not strange "KK". Very rarely I win with this card and very often I lose to it. And I don't know what it is connected with.

 

[crabcruncher]

Hello.
For me personally, this is a wonderful hand. You just do not know how to play with that hand properly. But that does not mean it is a bad hand.
Good luck.

AQ is an AK magnet. It usually wins blinds and loses stacks.

 

[MikeDTT]

JJ -1010 for me. Only with up raise and thats plays

 

[INISHTE]

Hi friend.

I think you are not using it well, for me it is a premium hand.

 

[eniseysmail]

Very often, my high cards turn out to be losing ones. Likewise, often - the garbage cards that I fold - turn out to be winning. And these phenomena sometimes infuriate.
