It all depends on the game! Even AA will not go va bank at the beginning of the tournament and I can shove a pair of small at the end in a passive player!

AA

Good evening everyone.
It depends on several factors, the size of your stack, your position on the table, depends on the phase that Mtt is in.
Pre flop the best hand is AA, in the post flop a set you can bet everything.

As a tournament player, not going to dignify this with an answer! xD

My favourite hand to go all in with is the stone nuts, all other all-ins are best avoided!

Hold a gun to my head and you'll get the answer QQ-AA, AQs-AKs, 97s-T9s or thereabouts*...



*Circumstances depending.

P.S. I'm a big fan of J9/J8 suited or off in a juicy spot, very live and playable hand post flop.. ;)

Depends on the situation but any pair u are already holding is better then no pair I think . Cause any pair can beat AK if he doesn’t hit

I really like 98s, i don't know why, but it usually works for me hahahah
Obviously aces and kings are better, but i just ignored them

strange question... naturally, the best hand will be the one that will give you the nuts in a particular hand =) even pocket aces can easily smash by two pairs of twos and threes

AA only I seem to loose many all ins with KK's and the second would be AA again. Good look!

The winning hand is the hand to go all in with haha. But seriously depends on the table your playing and position and a bunch of other factors. AA always loses for me so idk really what the best hand is

AA is the best hand, so you have to go all in. Then as any poker site will tell you, KK, QQ, AK and so on. Not much to think about.

Depends on which game you play.
If its tournament poker then the more shorter (20BB or less) you are the wider range (ordered by equity) you should play.
If its cash game then you dont want to all-in with 20BB unless its 2-3-4bet pot

AA for sure but other than that I like Q9 suited. Why Q9 IDK but I have seemed to have a lot of luck with it. Maybe just some dumb luck but I guess everyone has their favorite non pair of cards that they play every time

What is your favorite hand to perform an all-inclusive preflop? since some are more risky
Of course AA the best hand this is indisputable (But only preflop)

But a lot depend on your position, are you calling or raising and etc. If you calling what was the raise and how many players after you, how many chips you have and etc.
For example I can give all in with QQ if I short stack but I give 3-4Xbet if I have 50 BB or I'm a chip leader. And I can make call after raise with 910s...
Therefore, many factors must be considered. this is where the poker sharm lies. ;)

In freerolls K9 brought me the greatest amount of money, so I always play it all-in.

For me it will always be AA, but winning is not always 100% since AAs can be beat even by 72o. It also depends on some luck, but given the same luck, AAs always win.

The favorite hand to go all-in is any one that guarantees a win.

Every situation is different. Pocket 9s are not that great under the gun, but in the small blind it plays very well. There's too much lotto mentality in so many tournaments. Good players shove with good hands generally, bad players shove with crap and win a few. Then feel vindicated when K9 or 98 win. Bad investment in the long run.
