Many people have beliefs and preferences for certain cards. There are people who say that when they get AA they only lose. And others with low pairs always take the pot.

Do you have a hand that you always play when you're with them?

Dude, I have my favorite cards which are: T9s. They are cards that develop very well after the flop, but I don't do anything crazy because of screens like favorite cards, I play the way I have to. This is a limiting belief that only hinders you in evolution. AA will win 80% of the time, the math is correct, but it will happen that you will lose several pairs of AA in a row. I myself have already lost 10 in a row in one session, but part of that is the variance. When you analyze in the long term, AA will gain a large majority. Believing these things is very bad for your evolution and profitability in poker! ;)

My favorites are 66 and 77, just because i remember making lots of sets (and sometimes even quads) with those hands

However it's obvious that i won't be playing every time i get them, sometimes it will only be a bad/not lucrative play

Maybe not allways but I often play with QKs. These cards are one of my favorites

As wrote above, focusing on the best combination is a bad idea. Of course, the combination of AA and its like is best on the preflop, and then the river will show which combination is better. There is no best, there are winning ones, very often fold is the best solution;)

I have a rule that any two cards that were with the opponent, whether higher or lower than my cards, always lose😆😆

Definitivamente 88 e 99 are my favorites, but AA is matematicamente favorable

I would say AA, which is the obvious choice. Then AK are deadly cards to pick up.

K10. Gives you a good straight and all the other best hands in-between.

The only thing you should be doing with KT... is mucking it.

Unless you are sitting in late seats like CO or BU.
For this reason , It's also decent hand to defend the blinds with.

For me, the best hand is, of course, a pair of aces. If there are players who believe that with another pair they have more chances to win, then it sounds quite strange :)

I used to do these mock scenarios where I'd deal out a full ring and then the burn>flop>burn>turn>burn>river, collect the data for which cards connected w/the board the most. I think it was J's and 9's... As in any 2 card combinations w/J or 9. Amazing enough J9 is one of my favorite starting hands from mid-pos onward.

KK are the best pairs in poker, there is nothing to hit them with, AA not even remotely

I lost very few pots with 2Ts
This is a very weak card, I often play it defending the blinds, but nevertheless the fact remains)

AA is best if you know how to play it, of course, that's not hiding, that's shooting hard! because sometimes we lose AA going all-in preflop sometimes the opponent wins with the river and the best thing is not to let him see the river! There's the mission

I like to play preflop with AA when my opponent is all-in. And I like pair cards so much, for example, 22, 33 to catch trips)
