KQ, you lose to many hands, you think I'm in the front on the flop, but it's hardly going to be

My unloved hand KQ ... It seems that the hand is not bad - there is hope - but AA or any other pair without a lady and a king leave you a loser! So offensively - you lose!

A 10

I'm not a fan of A 10. I have a lot of trouble wining with this hand.

Eights.

You dont know how to play those hands. They have good odds to win without having to set mine.
But.
You cant shove cause you are getting called by way better.
You cant play a flop cause any overcard kills you.

For me my least favorite good hand is AJ. Especially AJo can be so awkward and I think I fold it way more than I should but it just terrifies me.

cool question . I always get confused on how to play these hands.

KQo - 3x bet or not
55 - 66 - 77- 88 - 99 - I don't know how so many people are ready to put their tournament life with 88 all in.. I could never call an all in with 99.

My least favourite good hand would be 10J offsuit

Never forget the days when we first started playing poker. KQ was considered a monster.

QJs .. a good hand, but that often leads you to the hole. if it is against several opponents then .. the desire to play with QJ is much but the gnt knows that it is not so good because almost always we will be dominated with it and losing.

Love and hate go together. I always wait for a strong hand to come.But two aces or two kings come. And you love that couple if you win and you hate if you lose.

Wors hands are the big pairs which lead me to make wrong décisions and I get always punished for that it happens that I threebet jam with overpairs on dry flops and get my AA or KK crushed by sets or unbelivable draws with 2unlucky streets or à second pair on River

This why QQ's and JJ's are tricky fu@kers, AA's and KK's can spoil the party too :D

Whenever I get JJ's I get an uneasy feeling in my gut lol. I don't mind getting them but they are absolutely difficult to play at times. I think the hand I dislike playing the most, however, is 8T (suited or unsuited). I never seem to have any luck with them and I hear people say all the time that 8T is one of their favorite hands.

What days were those ? From the very beginning, I learned that KQ was in the "trouble hand" category because it is easily dominated. Maybe some of us thought KQ was a monster, but it never was.

AJo from MP when facing a raise really sucks.... QJo, KJo from EP to MP is never fun either.... then 66- when facing an open 3Bet while either on BB or on the BTN, and you have the chips for it to be profitable to set hunt.
