    J, 10 suited.

    I can't stand J,J and don't even get me started on Aces!

    I'm also slightly retarded and don't like the 4th best starting hand, my fav hand has to be 23s.

    I always get screwed with the pocket ladies, nothing but hassle for me.

    K,9 & A,9 & J,10 suited always seems to do well for me so that'd be up there.

    I hate when some gob**** beats me with k 4 or something then go on to tell me its their favourite hand and they couldn't lay it down, (I went all in ye muppet pre-flop with A K (for eg)) and then they go on to spike two 4's on the turn and river. I do love the game tho :cool:

    Overraising with 27 then showing after everyone folds. Then shoving aces next hand.

    Quite like A2 A3 suited as when you hit that straight, very few see it coming. Find pocket Kings or pocket 10s are the best pocket cards for me, lot of time when people have aces they seem to think they are unbeatable.

    10-4

    Because I can say "Good buddy" afterwards, I never get to say that in real life.

    I have no friends :(

    Have to agree here is my fav hand and prob good to make a lot of money from
    Think reason I like it is its disguised and easy to get away from whereas JJ and AK and co the proper play is to jam it if short and most people seem remember getting knocked out of tournamnets with them

    I kinda hate when I get pocket aces. I know the maths but they've been so unlucky for me over time. I don't know how many hands and how much money I've lost with them. It's the one hand I can never put down, no matter what signals/vibes I'm getting from opponents. I'm trapped by the Maths! :mad::(

    So my fave hand is pocket kings. I also really like something like 78 suited. You can make a killing on that with a bit of luck, often for a cheap buy in, because people don't usually see that coming
