Lucky Starting Hands

[Stringy]

Do you have a lucky/fave hand - hands that you may call a BB or min bet with even if they're not technically a good starting hand, just because you like the pairing, or you've won a lot of hands with this?


or unlucky hands that you hardly ever do anything with expect you get to see the flop for free.

Lucky - 55 Spades and clubs

Unlucky - 63o

My Favs

Not counting paired As, Ks, Qs,
I tend to really like suited, connected starting hands, even with low cards.

Mathematically they have a higher probability of catching cards for the win

Doesn't mean they WILL catch them, though

It depends a lot on each player

I don't look much for the hand of luck there are many strong hands that will win and more will also lose the important thing is knowing how to play your hand sometimes you will win having 7 and 2 off against an AK suited or even an AA,QQ,KK don't just look at your hands, analyze your plays and your opponents' plays.

The best starting hand is 1010 and the worst is 32 offsuit.

 

[eniseysmail]

The already hated starting pair of cards is a pair of kings of any suit. The poker rooms are constantly throwing aces to the opponents at the table.
There are no preferred starting game cards today, they simply do not exist.

I like 10 8 suited, it seems to play well against random calling ranges.

If I have ~10BB in an MTT, I'm very comfortable jamming this hand UTG.

 

[azgeda]

QQ, AJ+ I think those are my top choices for starting hands.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Really don't have a favorite or lucky hand. If a table dictates a tight image then 2 - 7 is a great hand to play like A A. My favorite hand is the winning hand, if it 2 7 or A A.

 

[SopianaeExtra]

4,5, or 6,7 - especially when there are many callers; my logic is that all the guys who called must hold mostly everything from 10 up, meaning lower cards have a higher chance to be still in the deck. I believe I've won pots with them nearly as often as with TT or JJ.

 

[COMIRRR]

I'm not a fan of luck or bad luck in poker but when I have JJ preflop in 95% of cases I lose

Ace-Ace. A pair of aces, also known as "pocket rockets" is the best starting hand for Texas Hold 'em. Be wary of how many other players enter the pot, as more players increase the likelihood of someone beating your aces ))

Any hand is the same, I call on bb, it can be 73 85 and others. At some point there were even 10 and 3, in which a player with a pair of 4 came out against me, and they opened a set with a flop, he checked the flop and did not bet so much on the turn. I had a flush on the river when I knocked it out.

Very interesting approach to playing poker!!! I don't have such a lucky hand!!!

 

[PokerQueenPS]

Well of course AA

 

[TulasMoreno]

For me Q8, love that hand and i can say that its my fav hand!

 

[Lipki3]

I don't have those hands. I play on the starting charts, but not always.

 

[Subel007]

87s are my favourite

 

[AngryCrab]

For freeroll MTT's, any hand that isn't AA. All the crazy all in or fold freerollers will all in, and I'll feel like I "have" to participate because it's pocket A's. And then one of them wins with 7 2, just playing bingo.

Any other hand starting in a freeroll is a lot easier to put down during the wave of bingo players.

Hi.
In my case, everything is very simple. I don't have a favorite junk. I always critically count my chances, rely on my own skills and experience, and play only with strong cards.

 

[maroca06]

I like it when I go out with the suited Q10. I'm always lucky and 96.

Lucky - AA, KK, QQ, AK...
Unlucky - 27, 28, 38...
