bigmal76 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 was just having a wee wonder what everyones favourite/least favourite starting hands were? ie my favourite pocket cards are ace king and i always play them no matter what, but i hate to get pocket aces as i always seem to lose with them including three times in one day:@:@ and i certainly will not try to slow play them as i usually fall into an even bigger trap.so i was just wondering what other starting cards ppl liked/disliked? is there certain pocket cards that seem to bring you good or bad luck?

moFace Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? JJ lose nearly everytime, plus there a bastard to put down, sure its same with most people though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? For some reason I am hooked on J8 after reading some tosh out of a book. I get 10 8 more than any other hole cards and for some reason 8 3 seems to haunt me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? Always Play 6 4, its been a Very lucky hand. Suprised at the amounts of times I have won with it and won big as no-one expects you to be holding 6 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjon Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? gotta b 7 2 o.s:clap always like Q Q Hate A A or high suited runners that MAYBE might result in a royal flush, end up chasing cards.:@ and lossing chips.:spank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? K9 is awesome, AKs is great, also like small suited connectors because no one expects you to have them (especially if you raise like I do!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpurMan Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? For some bizarre reason I like Q 10 suited, but only in spades. Probably harks back to my only Royal being picked up with this hand, but always seems to do me nicely. Other than that I like Pocket 9s Least Favourite?. Pocket 4s!!!!!!!! (Which I think is Uber's fave, number of times he KO'd me in MKOP with it :@ :@ :@ ) I hate that hand with a vehermence that borders on the irrational!. Always seems to make me go on tilt even when I throw them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskyfitz Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? cant stand pocket JACKS or NINES Pocket 4's tend to be lucky for me as well as QUEENS. For hands that are not paired, 4,3 and 6,4 have been very good to me of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runadrum Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? won't play Q suited if I can help it but will play K suited, which makes no sense ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? I like KQsuited, and 94 off. Pocket 6's are particularly nice to me too. :ok I hate with a vengeance pocket 7's. In the Canbet guaranteed I lost 90% of my stack to pocket 7's when I had 88. Soon after exactly the same thing happened vs Big Andy in a PL game, and last Friday playing live I went out holding 77 to the callers 88.:puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveadam23 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? I've got 2 hands which I always like to get dealt. Pocket 9's always do well, but my favourite has to be AQ suited. Least favourite is either J's or 2's, can't seem to ever win any hand with them. J's are so hard to put down, but I always get beat by a bigger pair. I always lose chips with 2's chasing trips, but again never get lucky, it is a no brain fold for them these days.:( Steve.

socky1 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? I've always been a ladies man!! Altough I won my biggest win heads up at the end of mtt with 500 entrants with 10 ,5 suited so I play that when i get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? hate KQo, lost with it a few times, unless playing heads up or the blinds are starting to bite, I lay it down. Inetresting comments about the aces, they are a great hand, but I always try and use them to raise hard and kill people off pre flop. I hate being called and watching someone with trash draw at my pocket aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmuzeman Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? Pocket 6's are particularly nice to me too Thats my signature hand Valiant and I have a patent on it. Any winnings derives from it, im entitled 50% sorry ladies and gents its just the way it is. So yeah 66 (suits diamond and club are the best) and I also find J10clubs and 76spades rather sexxxuuaaal Just in general though any medium/small pocket pairs are my hands of choice.

Doob Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? Not enough votes for the obvious AA. The fact that is makes you straighten up in your chair and tightens the stomach if it is at a crucial stage of the tournament. I can fold any other hand post-flop but AA is do or die because it is very difficult to fold even to an all-in after the flop. I'm also quite partial to suited picture cards but they can be mucked with ease to any major raises pre-flop. AA is my hero. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglycow Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? JJ, AJo, KQo ... so damn hard to lay down ... but still a bitch to win with!! JT seems t do me good ... even if I shouldn't play them ... But hey .... I like all cards that will give me the pot ... I'm no person to judge any suit or rank above another ... as long as those ¤#""#¤!#%!"#! cards give me the pot ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglycow Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Re: favourite hole cards? hmmm... just had a look at my statistics and they paint a completely different picture: My overall best winning hands in terms of profit seems to be JJ, K9 and AJ .. those devious bastards!! How ever ... a hand that I have won 54 times ... and NEVER lost ... is 76s *sick* So obviously my perception of the game and reality have nothing in common ...
