Q-9 suited, So many possibilities pre, but it always seems to fizzle out, or get me out kicked by a better Queen.

I looked at the last 400k hands, based on this they lost the most with 82s (-47.51 BB/100)
All pairs are in strongly positive BB/100.
Unsurprisingly, AA earns the best (520 BB/100) followed by KK at 397 BB/100.

Poker players' hatred of losing is not unique; highly competitive people tend to suffer from this feeling the most. There are many reasons why players agonize over losing, even though it is an integral part of the game.I have this JJ.

I've won a lot at this game and I think that's my trump card. I evaluated myself and finally realized that we needed to be more vigilant before the round table.

it can be any hand, I just lost with the second best combination because only the first place gets the whole pot
AA loose KK loose against 27 or K3 becauce only the best 5-card combination on the board wins

I lost a lot with the hand I believed in. when I just blindly go into action just because I want to win. I understand with my brain what needs to be dumped, but I want to win with my hands, and then I will definitely drain((

I will probably have a couple of nines. This is probably the couple that caused me the most damage. I have some misunderstandings with her :)

I have always been unlucky with pocket jacks.
I somehow always manage to get it in against random nutty hands.

AKs followed closely by AK. Definitely overplayed them in the past, but that's a changing now. ;)

Pockets kings and queens. They cost me a lot of chips. It's very hard for me win with this hand, usually go all in.

I think with KK I lost an all-in at a tournament where I came out 6th and lost somewhere around 7 million chips.

I play tournaments, it happens that in the finals or top 2 you lose with a premium hand and for a couple of days (maybe sometimes for a week) you are very upset, but then you realize that you still didn’t play otherwise - conquer the dispersion again

JJ I doubtfully , following very close by QQ . Especially prefloop shove is a problematic situation against overcards or overpairs . And if you have JJ or QQ on a flip where highest card is 10 or lower , then this is a problem . Last time I lost with QQ on a 1 0 high flop on a 109$ game , the other had a aet of 10s .....

Pff for me it was always these middle broadway cards such as QJ, KJ, QK. Doesnt matter if theyre suited or not. Never had a lot of luck with them.

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.
