I am a huge fan on the J10 or 10/9. What are your favorites?

I like TJs. Doesn't mess with AK, AA, KK or QQ but if any of those hands hits the flop in the right way, and especially if they're being slow-played, then JQs has a chance of ruling the day against hands that are going to have a very hard time finding a fold.

I like suited 1 gappers. A board of J 9 7 only offers one possible straight hand, made less likely by being a 1 gapper. 10 8 suited, 9 7, and 8 6 are all hands I like. Any lower than that is pushing it a bit though.

My favorite non - pocket pair hand AKs and 10/9s.I really like AKs better than most pocket pairs. I think it's better than pocket KK and others except for AA. Why i love 10/9 ? i have no idea, i can't explain it :)

well AK is the obvious answer...besides that hand,I would have to say J10 suited,easy to get away from,and if you hit a flop...J10 can crack big hands:)

IDK why. Way back when, became partial to J7s. Now I'd say AKs cause I'm more a fan of math than feelings. But the old me, who's much younger, would say J7s. What a silly kid I was. Am :)

J8 or J9 suited or 10-8

my favorite hand may be a bit unusual, i dont know why but i favor J8, J9 suited preferably suited but i will suited or not with a cheap flop. depending on chip stack and position.

the hand i NEVER play, is JJ, I know thats off topic but JJ is my nemesis.

I like 89s a lot but I don't have a story behind this preference! Also one gappers are nice ( 57,68,79,8T suited or unsuited) and if you hit the flop most of the times you will get paid well.

My opinion

My favorite non-pocket pair hand is king ten. It hits a lot. It is like the king is looking for a new queen a perfect ten.

I like KQ suited. I don't know why, but I've always like it.

For me, in the game, apart from paired cards, the QJ - KQ - JK card plays very well - and small cards also sometimes play well and I like the 98-78- 76 card!
