What are your favorite cards??
Mine are K 8 !
Let's get this rolling!!
Come on - you can't just leave us hanging like that; there must be some story or reason behind K 8 for your favorite hand. It isn't a common choice, it sounds like potential for a good story: gather round everybody!
My favorite cards are the ones that hit the flop hard
, actually I have a little weakness for TJh, but I'll take AA anytime.
Yes, who doesn't like AA? Rhetorical! Rhetorical! Gosh, I know many people have bad experiences with AA, but I'll take the best preflop hand any day
lol sounds like someone has been playing cards for long enough to have suffered from a few bad beats
Any particular reason for Q 9? I'm curious at least...
My favorite AA cards. I am sober about all the odds, and according to them, this is the most profitable hand, which is why it is my favorite. The main thing is to play it correctly and then you will have very high chances of winning.
Agreed - I'll happily take AA
I don't think it pays me to have "favorite cards" and I don't quite understand that. Of course gamblers have a wide variety of superstitions so I guess that explains some of the above.
If a Poker Genie came down and told you that in the next tournament every other hand you got would be your "favorite," would something like 65s really be an advantage? Nope. I think picking something AKs or better would make more sense.
Note: There is no such thing as a Poker Genie.
True if speaking only objectively, but I also think part of players developing "favorites" has to do with them playing the game for so long and needing a small detail like being dealt your "favorite cards" to give them a morale boost.
I'm most happy with AA and
hands that perform well, but I also like Ah9c because (if I recall correctly) that was my final holding at the end of my first ever poker freeroll where I could actually win something (unlike a video game etc.). That freeroll was the CardsChat 30 Day Course event, so I guess if it wasn't about objective hands then Ah9c is my "favorite." Of course, I'll fold that hand without a second thought if I'm in a serious game or needing to tighten up etc.
Nothing wrong with "messing around" and playing "favorite hands" and trash holdings if at social homegames and such with friends etc., but one can't expect to be winning by playing objectively bad cards - AA for the win!
Obviously AA but I guess I can deal with KK LOL
Same. I can deal with KK enough to want to get all of my chips into the middle
I like Christmas cards :icon_bigs Get well soon cards
but i really like birthday cards

Great to see a sense of humor. In fact, I took it similarly. When I first read this thread title, I thought they meant like favorite brand of playing cards. btw, my new Copag cards I like a lot
I take the ladies all the Time
I only love QQ when I'm not up against KK or AA, but I don't like QQ too much when super far behind lol. Don't get me started with set over set with the bigger pairs either
Yup prp checks out
my favorite cards are all suits and all pairs ...
I thought you were going to say suited Aces only, but all right xD
