They are always the JJ, but now I am learning to play them by always re-raising them against steal positions and if I see a Q or a K or an A on the table I always end up resigning it, against the first positions I polarize sometimes I re-raise and sometimes I just pay
it depends on the player. but I don't play the box with JJ that's for sure. in tournaments it is different
when you are short you have to play them.

I think maybe it's not "cursed hand", just wrong strategy of conducting plays with AQ hands.

I've got a Cursed hand: AQ.
I can't win with it, and also I lose to it when other players have it.
I'm also doomed when there's and Ace and a Queen on the board.
I'm telling AQ is cursed (for me)

Does anyone else have a cursed pair of cards?
(and I don't mean just difficult to play hands like JJ or getting aces cracked all the time. I mean card where you don't win with them, but they also beat you and you can't win when they are in the board)
The cursed hand for me would be that after the flop, having AXs with x <8 of spades, a rainbow flop falls or worse, a single color flop of hearts. There is no hope at that moment and if the Ace falls you still lose with such a low kicker.:(

Yes sir it probably happens to me all time it seems like nowadays. Good hands can get us in trouble all the time. I Just stay focused and be careful and keep grinding. Good luck and remember to have fun and hope ya crush it.

You didn't read my post properly. It's not only when I have it. It's not that I play AQ wrong.
I could be play AA and KQJ flops all the same suit and I have the Ace of that suit.
and then another Queen will come and someone else with AQ will beat me.

Or imagine this I have AQ I've raised pre-flop 1 caller and AQ6 rainbow flops I guarantee that other play will have pocket 6's

It's just cursed.

Sorry friend! I actually made a mistake commenting your post. Your experience with AQ cards is really impressive. I wish you luck on future plays involving AQ cards. I don't have those experiences, but these events, when they become recurrent, must be very discouraging to keep playing poker.

Most hands that I get involved with or don't get out of the hand when my instinct tells me to get our are cursed! I mean, I curse at them, but really I am cursing at myself as I've made the error and I KNOW it!:D

Maybe you should exclude these hands from the range or play them differently?

I often have bad luck with A5s. Although A4s plays well. Mysticism.

As soon as I saw the title I said, AQ....LOL

Same here. Than darn hand haunts me to no end!!!

I don't get caught up in the notion of cursed hands myself, but if there's a hand that plays poorly against aggression, AQ is one of those hands. I have run into AK a fair bit in spots, and while sometimes I do suck out, it's overall not a profitable play.

Someone else even said in this thread about Doyle Brunson and how AQ is such a bad hand.

If I get caught up in the notion of a particular hand being cursed (or even lucky), then I'm going to have a bias towards that hand and will be more likely to misplay it, so I try to take each situation as it comes. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

Sorry, AQ has been very good to me though I do fold it often during preflop and post flop. After all, it is a drawing hand, albeit a strong drawing hand, so you must play it with respect to the other players. Then again, I often fold AK preflop and post flop, also. I also go all-in with those hands as well depending on the circumstances.
