I think many players will play a less than stellar hand like 9 7 and have a real memorable moment with it and fall in love with a hand like that.
I myself like to mess around with 3 5 every once in a while. If you raise with that hand and hit something like A 2 4 or even K 5 5, you can get richly rewarded.

Yeah I always cringe when I fold from the big blind to a min raise when there are others seeing the flop as well. I don't like spewing my chips away, but whenever I see the big blind special hits the flop I wish I had paid an extra BB to take someone's stack. Sometimes I get TOO tight with my hand range when I shouldn't.

Daniel's favorite hand maybe 107, but I think my favorite is 27o. Every now and then I get a good laugh raising 27o (unopened pot) from the dealer position and stealing pots with it.

My buddy, James, loves the 27o as well.

Personally I think the beauty of some of those so called favorite hands is you typically know EXACTLY where you stand when the cards start coming out. Also If you can see a really cheap showdown with cards like that you can put the fear of LAG into a table . The point about stealing blinds with those hands is that your decisions suddenly become easy . Your not gonna spew an even larger amount of chips later in the hand by taking your bluff too far.If your Cbet or float fails your done . Just my thoughts on it.

All I know is JCarver's favourite hand is 35s because he won a big ass pot with it back when he was starting out, so maybe there's a similar backstory for Negreanu's alleged T7 hand.

I've seen several videos where Daniel claims 10-7 is his favourite hand and could play it 'all day long' and seen him lose as many as he wins. Regardless what he plays, I do enjoy watching him.

I always enjoy watching Negreanu as well. I thought he debunked that 10-7 was his favorite hand, but he definitely plays some middle of the road hands and seems to have much better success at doing so than I ever have.

he puts more to mislead the contrary, besides making jokes all the time at the table where plays. He is a great player and maybe have that hand 10.2 but I played in a way that makes you believe you have AA. lol

He plays many hands. His small ball approach and post flop play have been helpful for him. He likes to mix it up. think his success relies on the fact the game is dynamic and you need to change it up and not remain stagnant.

Okay, so this might be a little bizarre theory but, what are the chances, that definetly the biggest ambasador of the game and the face of online money making company PS, just washes brains of plenty of fish online, so that they get to play this shitty hand more. Call me stupid.

I'm very certain that he has said that 10-7s is his favorite hand. It's an okay drawing hand in late position, and easy to get away from if your playing it in early position. Say the board flops 8-9-J. How would any of your opponents know that you have a straight? There's a possibility to win a big pot with these types of suited connectors, but the opportunities don't come very often.
