First of all this is a really great thread, ty.
Well for me it has changed multiple times but right now it's KsKc.
I want to know about players who don't have a favorite hand and when their asked the first time they sort of fumble with their answer? I remember this happening to me, in 05.

Besides the monsters, suited connectors and pairs. The good thing is the set. However, rarely comes.

My favourite hands are A K, 2 3, AA, KK!
I hate K Q because it has never won but seriously!

It depends on my stack, when I am with few chips, I usually play more with big pairs or hands premiuns. Type AK, AQ, AJ or pairs with AA KK QQ JJ. But when my stack is bigger, I really like to play smaller cards with equal suits. As 7 and 6, 4e5, etc.

KQ & 35 both suited and unsuited are my favorite starting hands. I would take them over any premium hand any day of the week.

I think I have found my favorite hand to be KK.
I like it even more than AA for the following reason.

When you have AA, the chance that your opponent holds an A becomes much smaller. When an opponent does not have an A, the chance to get more money in the pot drops considerably.

When you have KK, the chance that an opponent has an A increases, so more chance to play a decent pot.
The chance that an A comes is relatively small, so no big danger to lose the pot to that, and when an A does come, we can fairly easily get away from our hand.

So, conclusion, kings rule :)

Very much it is pleasant to me as starting hands one-colored connectors. On a flopa with them it is possible to receive very strong hand or дро. At the same time it is very difficult to rivals to guess force of my hand. Therefore at a certain luck it is possible to hit a big roll.

As many players I love suited connectors, but broadways look sexy too, especially pocket kings and AQ)))
