from what I read here, many like AK, KQ, I'm glad to see 8-9 from the heart.I won pots with this hand more than with AK ... :):D

Definitely the 89 suited !!! But there are situations when I don't come in to the flop with this hand.

Something like 10♣8♣, 7♦6♦, Q♥J♥
And of course J♠ 9♠
Gollum will say: "My precious" =))

I also liked AK, but now I hate this hand.

ATs or A5s because of the added straight potential and more hidden two pair potential. Both are easier to get away from than AK & AQ so makes them easier to play as well.

I like to play a lot JTs .... it's a great hand ... it has many possibilities to make a straight up and down ....! and it becomes stronger if they are of the same suit ...!

J8 Hearts A6 hearts. J8 has never failed me if its hearts. anything else is hit or miss but when its heart for some reason the pokerGod just smiles sheds a tear and gives me a massive turn card. It's beautiful until I flip it over in a large pot and the other guy Ragequits in Live

There are 3 hands I like that are not pocket pairs.

AKs - This one is obvious, it is the nut no pair. You beat any showdowns when no one has a pair, and even if you’re behind KK you still have outs.

JTs - This is my favorite multi-way hand. Do you know any straight you make with JT is always the nuts? (As long as you use both your hole cards). Also it is easy to let go of if you don’t hit your hand.

A5s - My favorite hand that’s a low ace. This hand has many benefits for a strong player. It gives you a strong pair (Ax) and when the board is low you get to make the nut low aka The Wheel. As long as your cautious and don’t overplay when you hit top pair, this is my favorite hand for late position.

My favorite is J 8! I love these cards and I mostly get on them. Still, be careful when you have these cards because they are not so strong. You should avoid your hands as these are because they can bump us into problems if we do not hit the pair on the flop.
