For me, as for many, the best hand is a monster. But I don't like AA. 85% of the time when I have AA, I lose. I prefer AK or KK. I'm also often lucky with Q9 and KT
I have different options, that is, I have several such favorite cards. AA, KK, AK, QQ, JJ, TT. Of course, luck decides a lot, but these are my favorite starting hands.
In poker, you can't fall in love with a particular hand. After all, if you got AA or, for example, KK, but you lost part of your stack to some 74 offsuit. What emotions will you experience then? Therefore, each hand is interesting in its own way and each hand should be played depending on the situation.
My favorite hand is the hand that has the best chance to win, simple as that. Of course AA is the best starting hand in Holdem, but if I can win with 76, then I am also happy.
I love that you said KK suited, made me smile. While I do like looking down and seeing A's (non suited) I can't say I have any particular favorite cards. I do always notice when K,8c is played tho, just cuz of that one tourney when Deeb and Negreanu had that hand between them 3 hands in a row. I'm probably the only person in the world that calls K,8c "the Negreanu" but I do it anyway.
My favourite hand is AA,but i really like 10 J suited,just because i tend to hit a lot of straights and flushes with it.The AA pick is pretty straight forward,its the best hand in poker.
