Hello, there are certain hands in poker that are generally considered weak and that many experienced players avoid playing or play with caution. Some of these hands are:
  1. 2-7 (offsuit or same-suit): Known as “the weakest hand”, it's difficult to improve this hand after the flop, and you're likely to find yourself in a compromised position.
  2. 3-8, 2-8, and 3-7 (offsuit or same-suit): These hands have little chance of significantly improving, and playing them is often risky.
  3. Low unconnected hands (for example, 4-9): Lower hands without connections offer few opportunities to form strong combinations.
  4. Weak medium hands (for example, 9-6, 8-7): These hands may look attractive, but they are often difficult to play and are less likely to form strong combinations.

Category 4 you can at least play first in at the button when attacking the blinds.

The rest are as you stated total garbage unless someone overfolds the blinds so much that you can play any two cards and steal most of the time.
