Good starting hands I hate to go all in with.

AK You made me lose too many important times

 

[snake666]

It seems to me that All in depends more on our position, the size of the bank and the stage of the tournament. you can always lose, even with AA

The more we lose than we win

Certainly not my friend, as the mentors say, in poker you lose more games than you win, it is normal not to be distressed, just yesterday I saw dozens of hands losing with AA in All In for Straights, Flushes.
Good luck and have faith that sometimes your AK will win

89s is a hand I love, also a hand I hate.
But I would say 89s is one of my favorite hands, at least want to see a flop with it.

This is very helpful on this topic:


Pre-flop play

AK it is a verry "dangerous" hand.......It is like Angel&demon for me...You can beat strong hands, but you can also loose a lot against hands like 6 7......8 9..........10 J...

AQ is the one that usually puts me in a bind. If I get flat called by AK I am usually in a world of hurt if we hit the A on the flop.

 

[H3kf]

I hate AJ because any low Q or K can win your hand on flop

 

[andreypuch]

I think AK is not a bad hand to play. I don't like AJ. I raise, but on the flop I don't quite know where I am. Do I have the best hand, or did I lose? Is it just me?

AK is a super powerful hand, extremely strong in most all situations. AK blocks Aces and Kings and you're roughly 46% vs any pair when you jam and get called if you're not already crushing a worst hand. Jam spots are very powerful deep in mtt's if you have your opponents covered no matter what cards you're holding. It's more about the current table dynamics and the players you're going against. Most spots play theirself and don't sell your hand short nor the spot, let it play itself. Run the cards. As long as you're jamming first you're making no mistakes. You can't make any mistakes if you're allin first leaving the other player to call and make mistakes, wake up or put to a very tough decision and fold a better hand such as a medium pair due to not wanting to flip in the current spot. Most of all don't be results oriented, the hand plays itself, worry less about results and more on making the correct decisions. :icon_thum

I hate the AA KK QQ
When I go on preflop all-in I lose 80%

 

[deyvsonflp]

If it is at the beginning I prefer 3bet, Cbet and I analyze the turn and river. But depending on the size of my stack I go all in.

 

[tagece]

It depends on a lot of factors, but I prefer just make a good raise with AK than shove. But, depending on the villain, I call with it.

Pocket Jacks. Never win...

 

[hairball]

10 10 , always lose with it , and lose against it , lol

 

[Snake2007]

From 99 to AA I give it all in the beginning because even if you win you can get an advance in front of the others.

 

[moshie]

I seen a lot of AK off suit being called of by QJ or JT suited. Yes you are a 60% favorite against these kind of hands heads up. You are getting in good but still going
to lose 40% of the time. If you don't mind flipping for your stack. Ok but some of us do. Some times I want to get to the flop cheap as possible then commit my stack. If board is A T 7 rainbow ,I probably going to do my stack against one player. If he didn't folp 2 pair of better. I am going for it.

 

[beatlebug]

I hate to go all in with aces...It is like a killer to me. That and kings too.

Play all in before see flop is roulette in my opinion. Playing with luck only, not strategy play.

 

[cferdi]

AK unsuited. I've lost just about every race pushing this. Is it just me?

I almost never push with AK, even suited I am nervous with - I MAY call, but depends at what stage of tournament (I mostly play tournaments). They are often called and seem to lose more than they win - in fact, I often find myself facing something like KK, or AA, so unless you flush or str8 you've had it!

 

[mclaughlinph]

I find with AK i am almost always in a flip or dominated but best case scenario in a flip. I rarely get them up against AQ or AJ.

 

[riff_raff312]

I hate AK o, AQ o i always seem to get in a spot where there could be a flush or a small str8 thats betting my hand i.ve even been takin ou with two pair on the river card just my luck i'm thinking :evil:

[andreypuch]

AKo - today I push. Opponent call (QQ). And... I caught a KKK set. And took his stack. So sometimes luck is on our side. )))

 

[furnitura47]

Where is something about AQ. A pair of cards I hate at any moment during the game. Always a losing combination when I am trying to play and generally kicking my butt when played against me. Now I fold this hand any time it comes up! Guess what? I am not losing with AQ anymore
