Some players are ready to swear that they always win with some kind of ridiculous holding like 85. Nonsense! Having a good hand in a math game like poker is a bad idea. You will lose in the long run with 85s. That is why when people ask me what my favorite starting hand is, I always answer them that these are pocket aces. Regardless of the fact that I do not win with them every time, I get with them much more “luck” than with any other starting hand!
