Oh, the Fool's Gold Special saga cost me a good chunk of change. Picture this: I'm betting and raising like there's no tomorrow, convinced my pair of twos is the ticket to poker stardom. The pot grows, and I'm thinking I've got the Midas touch.
When the dust settles, I realize I've lost a whopping $500 on that hand. Yeah, you heard it right, five hundred big ones. All for the glory of those elusive deuces that turned out to be more like a rusty old coin than anything close to gold.
It was a painful lesson in overestimating the power of a seemingly innocent pair. Now, every time I see twos in my hand, I remember that fateful day and approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Poker's got a way of humbling you, especially when you're chasing Fool's Gold.

250 usd, the villian had only 1 outter, the 4 of hearts, it came out in river, he linked the straight flush vs my flush to A.

This is really a great question and I have been thinking about what the hand would be. I would say the hand that has cost me a lot would be poker Kings over the years.

Why Kings? It's one of the hardest hands to play in my opinion. Kings can be a trap hand in my opinion. Let's say we are early in a tournament. We raise and get 3 bet, we are happy to get int in but if we 4 bet and get 5 bey or worse Jamed on what is the right play? While we could be way ahead of them, we could also being deep trouble as well. We all have seen it happen and they have pocket aces. If their supper deep, what hands could they have? Aces Queens maybe Ak? The problem is preflop we really can't fold this hand without one hell of a read but there is also a really good chance we are in deep trouble as well.

Then there is the flop. SO we call or just get called. An Ace comes out about 22% of the time. So, let's say we trapped with kings. They c-bet, we can't just fold can we. Yes, they may have an ace, but they could have QQ or some other hand we are beating. Now let's say they called us. Many times, we c-bet and they fold but what if they call? Do they have the ace or a draw or what?

So why did I pick Kings? I think I have lost more with them than any other hand for the reasons above. While other hands are weaker, they are also easier to fold. Take pocket Jacks to 8's for example. You could have 2 or more cards over your hand. When people are 4 and 5 betting their hands, we can easily fold them pre flop if we believe they are behind and with so many more bad flops we are less likely to call down 3 streets of bets or betting all 3 streets.

Just my thoughts anyways.
kk is my cursed hand too ! ring games , MTT, freerolls , SNG , same result ..... they seem to lose way more than the odds would dictate . decades ago i went broke in $1500 wsop events 2 years in a row allin preflop with kk vs jj . both times a jack hit on the river ! the winners were doyle brunson and berry johnston, both main event champs . that combination of unlikely events sure is a longshot .

I lose lots with AQ offsuit . Often I am crushed by AK and even when i flop an ace or queen i run into sets regularly .

Probably AQ pre flop. I don't think I've ever won a race with that hand

the one that hurt me the most I lost with JJ, for 2 3, the opponent tripped on the flop, that was on the bubble of a tournament

I think AA is the most losing hand
Or at least the one that annoys the most and that is why it is the most remembered.
hahaha
