I'd have to say my favorite hand is Pocket Jokers. It feels good knowing that as soon as the flop completely misses the starting hand I pick, that I can easily change my hand to fit my needs. Although sometimes the other players are a little suspicious when I flip up 2 clowns riding on bikes and call my hand as a royal flush.
:-D
I really like playng suited J 9, but I play it rather cautiously. I do not raise, but just call and see what the flop reveals. It seems there is almost always something that gives my hand potential. If I get a four card straight, a four card flush, or a pair on the flop I play very aggressively. If the flop doesn't give me strong potential I fold to anything greater than a minimum bet. The hand just seems to work out for me, though I have never called a pre-flop all-in with the hand unless my chip stack is at least four times the all-in. Thanks for sponsoring this contest!
my favourite hand is the 10 8 suited. i first saw Tony G play this hand in the final hand of the bad boys of poker, heads up with matusow when matusow traps with the kings so well, and tony G says "this is my lucky hand" as an excuse for being caught out.
however, i have been playing recently and i cracked a guys aces the other day when he called my PF raise:
my hand: 10s 8s
His hand: AdAc
flop:
9c 7s 3s
at this point i was 54% and it was all in on the flop, and im delighted by the flush on the turn.
moral of the story: i like 10 8 suited and i like busting trappers with aces, and i like competing in forum $5 challenges!
GL at the tables everyone
Already been said earlier, but mine has to be Jd/10d and here's why:
In 3 years or so of online poker, I have never had a Royal Flush. However, I have had 2 straight flushes. The first one was with Jd/10d. The second one was completed with a Jd on the turn (Oddly enough, both of my straight flushes were Q-8d). It's also nice because you can have the nut straight two different ways ( 7 8 9 or Q K A).
Nice competition for you to do Keruoacs, and I say that with as little brown on my nose as possible.
KQo
This is the hand that made me win my biggest cash on online ever!!! and it was here in cardschat a few months ago!!!
it's was a $1 buyin with $100 added. i had big stack and my opponent has about 1/3 of what i have. he went allin on SB with an Ax... i called immediately of course. the flop came with 754, the turn came out like hours have past for me.. and it was another rag 8, crossing my fingers, the river came out like it was forever!! i was already thinking i may possibly lose to this hand... prayin and praying.... then out came the K!!! i was the most glorious day of my poker game!!!
and that is my reason why i love this two cards... LOL!!!
I personally love J8 suited or not. Part of the reason is when I first started playing online I played it alot and Jacks in general are good to me. My friend who plays poker well would always pm me when I hit with it telling meto stop playing that hand it is not profitable I am just lucky. Drives him nuts and I get a thrill out of it. It also is usually undetected and I usually end up getting called a donk or rookie, lol
So its kinda like my practical joke when we are on the same table.
