AJ or JJ. So hard to gauge where you are against the other players.

AQ looks good, but always lose with it.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]my least favorite hand is one where you play AK and your kamikaze opponent plays 2/3 and makes a pair of 22 and beats you.[/COLOR]​

My most unloved hand is any pocket bunch that with an open flop and a turn involves a straight draw or a flash draw. To a greater extent, nothing of yours is on the river and the cards of other players win.)):eek::confused::rolleyes:

A/Q No Doubts here as can get beat by a single king but if you had a/k your gold, so unless they have K/K which is rare you get beat.

You have a better chance catching a straight while a/a is just that and never anything more unless you hav a board with k/q/j/10 kind of rare at that and a/k would be much better, So like the a/k over a/a

What is your least favorite good hand?

With QQ, I always seem to either win small or lose big. It’s often worth a 3bet preflop, sometimes even a 4bet. But hard to put down if A or K shows up on the community cards. Seems to be harder to hide a set of Qs than a set of 2s.

i think my least fav hand is being in early position and getting something like aj non suited, a10 non suited, etc. in late position these hands are to me no brainers to play

K10o has given me the most trouble lately, never seem to hit a straight when I'm open ended.

For me it’s a pair of AA, I lose more often than I win, I’m probably a strange player, but I like to play with a pair of 22 this is my favorite pair of cards.

I think KQ or KJ can often be a nightmare. You are in no man's land if anyone raises (let alone re-raises) but you have to play them.

In terms of hands I genuinely groan about - it has to be middling suited connectors such as 8 9 of hearts. Obviously, in broadening any range this is the type of hand you should enter pots with. All I can say is I wish this was a stat I had bother to keep because with middling pairs I can barely recall times when such cards have paid off.

Middling suited connectors so frequently fail (for me) that for sometime I have stuck to suited broadways, this said, see above!

Hard to tell between TT or JJ. Both have put me in tough situations that haven't been profitable.

I think I'll go with JJ ... cursed hand I'm telling you.

I like AKs, you have many possibilities to connect something good on the flop, turn or river even.

AJo uniquely. It seems to be quite a powerful hand, but often has to be thrown away

JJ for because they could always have A K Q and in a flop it is very dangerous, it makes me doubtful unless another J or low cards come, but it is misleading to my liking

I am not talking about a 2 7 off suited. For example, for me it is J J. I seem to misplay that hand or have bad luck more often than not.


Jacks are like a heavy backpack. And it’s hard to drag, and it’s a pity to throw it out :)
