All of them, none of them... :D

Eveyrbody has their own kryptonite... for my part, JJ is a bad starting hand... I hate to see flops when I have them... I have my lucky starting hand :7d4::2c4: cuz with that specific hand I cracked aces on a bluff and won my first home game.. ever since I play them like aces when I get them and most of the time, I hit big.. I heard recently someone talking about how he hates AA in tournaments...

It'S different for everybody.... It's better to focus on what are the best starting hand then the worst! Positivity!!

The say 7-2 is the worst starthand you can have.
The problem with A-A is probely that these hands overraise the expectation of winning and we overdue.

After reading some of the members post it would be AA. They seem not to be able to win with it. I'll go with more of the obvious, hand that doesn't connect with the flop.

72o is one of the best hands. Everything is simple with it: you always fold it and there are no problems.

Which hands are worse to play? small pairs up to 44, small connectors, connectors with two holes and Broadways such as QT, КT; weak aces, with such hands you often pay for stronger hands.

72 off suit is the worst, AA is the best.

You should know how to play with the weak hands and how to play with the strong hands and you will not have the worst hands.

I like some of these philosophical answers. How about,...7 2 offsuit.

7, 2 off suit is the worst starting hand.

The hand with a low ev and cost the most to play, combined with an adverse flop!

72 in the big blind against 4 limpers is not so bad. Especially if 3 2's hit on the flop!

Normally I will agree with 7-2 off suited.

But the latest days it has been K,Q off suited, I lost and lost with that hand and now i play it very carefully.

I hate when I have two ten or 99 or 88 and one of the opponents puts all in, because it puts me in doubt that I do not know him yet how he plays if it is a good player or a bad and I find myself forced to give up my cards, and the worst when I see my card on the flop and missed my brace

If you do not know how to play well, any hand is bad.

Pre-flop 72o. Post flop everything changes. Not only can your hand grow as well as your overall play, creating diverse opportunities.
