What are your favorite starting hands?

[6bet me]

My least favourite is 72o... but one hand which I dislike though is QTo. It just has really terrible reverse implied odds the times when you hit your Queen or your Ten and you get dominated by a better kicker.

 

[maniaka68]

AA,AQ or two kings the best start for one tourney

 

[gattutoche85]

Personally I have none, but best hand to star obviouslly AA is followed KK, even i get happy if JK comes to me.

 

[Ainar69]

AK 47

my favorite hand is 10hKh

It depends too much on the position. I "dont like" aces when UTG, because in LP you can get a lot more chips with it. When in MP, hands like TT,AQ can be very useful, if you play them wisely they can trap a wide range of hands.

 

[Hemlock]

Many hands!

Well who doesn't like AA and KK although every time I play KK someone ALWAYS calls with a A2-6 and gets the A on flop never fails it seems. Then there is QQ which I think is a great hand cause for some reason I often get another Q before the end.

AT is also nice cause you can sometimes flop the highest straight or even catch a little lower of a straight and this means JQK flops and opponents more willing to stay in hand cause they have a high pair...

As far as suited goes who doesn't like seeing that flush it can be so easy to get sometimes and it beats so many other types of hands.

 

[vita087]

k 10 suited !

 

[TheBigFinn]

AA and KK, obviously. Middle pairs, JTs, and T9s (you almost always know where you stand and can win big)

 

[joe777]

Besides AA and KK,A10o+ and any suited connector.

 

[hulinada]

My hands are the ones that I am sure that they will win the hand, even 59s

 

[Zorba]

I like JK off, I always get hold of the nuts.

[Sale86_ns]

My favorite starting hand is 8 9 or 9 10 in colour because have much options for winning hand

Interesting. I've personally, never really had a lot of success with KJ. Although, I usually try not to get in too deep with that sort of hand.

Completely agree. I really like 89 suited too. Can disguise a staright nicely with that hand. Unless there is 4 to a straight on the board, obviously.

 

[kapobar]

I like AA KK and small suited color connectors

 

[Mr Alvim]

I also like to play with these types of hands . Obviously pairs of A and K are very good, but these naipadas cards are great to play well.

 

[nastena2992]

my favorite starting hand JQ

 

[Binraker]

I love the suited ace but always try to get in cheaply. Hate to see a paired board when I have a flush draw.

Yup. They are great to play and easy to disguise.

my favorite starting hand JQ

Any reasoning behind it?

Good point. I too try to get in for cheap with that type of hand.

 

[Kavaleits]

2 7 - joke
AA, KK and other pairs.
Sometimes T9s, or 56s depending from position.
10 3 are my cards so many times i got set in flop

 

[pachopaez]

I like a lot 33 in hand , there was tournament that I went 4 or 5 times 33 and helped me a lot, since I caught her affection for that hand

I like stories like these.

 

[vic88888]

I would say pocket jacks with chance to see flop.

 

[evangelos_christodoulou]

favorite i dont know, but most weird profitable hand i play is the 6-3. Let me explain, Im playing on pokerstars and when i get 6-3 I always play it, either I get 2 pairs, 3 of a king, straight or full house. I know that its just random luck, but always happen, now for how long this strange phenomeno will go on i dont know

 

[sergey ptz]

suited connectors from 10 and up
