    sitting thinking about poker hands in work and have come up with my 10 favourite poker hands for NLH. I want to know what peoples top ten are aswell, bear in mind this is not necessarily the top 10 best hands statisically (although it may be) although it should include hands you,ve got lucky with in tournaments, hands you seem to lose less with and like to raise it up with. No particular order,

    1 K,10 suit
    2 10,9 suit
    3 9,9
    4 K,J suit
    5 Q,J suit
    6 A,A
    7 7,7
    8 10,10
    9 K,Q suit
    10A,K suit

    OK, i like this game :D

    AK spades - this is the best looking hand in the deck IMO, although I always go broke with it!
    KK
    AA
    QQ
    JJ
    TT
    T9 spades
    99
    TJ spades
    78 suited


    Least favorite:
    AJ
    KJ
    KQ
    QJ

    all recipe for disaster :)

    I think you'll find that AK diamonds is the best looking hand!

    nonsense 69 clubs is pretty

    Huh, I was gonna post something similiar. i.e. hands that you have an irrational like/dislike for. That said, I try to play statistically correct, but it's so hard to let the superstitions go. Do you guys think it's a good thing to have a random hand in your range that you'll overplay?

    - Pocket 8s (SNOWMEN!!!). They very rarely lose for me.

    - I have an unnatural hatred for AJ, I never win coin tosses with AJ vs small pockets.

    - 56s hits straights, flushes, sets and two-pairs for me a lot, and nobody ever sees them coming.

    Lol me too. It has been good to me in the past, but definately tend to only play it a bit more in the house games now where punishment is minimal!

    I'm addicted to baby one and two suited gappers, I should of noticed that I was doomed when early in my playing career 810s was my favorite hand. since then its got progressively worse and now being dealt 35s or 75s is like holding quads on the river. Be careful with these there like the crack cocaine of suited connectors.

    57s
    35s
    46s
    68s
    24s
    36s
    58s
    47s
    25s
    69s

    kq spades

    /end


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭fatguy


    Well, at least I know I'm not the only one. I know the lads down the pub have their favourite hands, but I thought it was something that people would grow out of or something...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭Irish Iron


    hands i win the most with:
    66 is good to me
    88 is great to me
    KK always cracks AA live for
    AA hardly ever loses

    btw i run good

    77 never ever ever wins though i swear im going to stop playing no matter what the situation is.

    hands i like:
    98s, QJs,

    the big blind when you get to check with rags and hop off the flop!

    actually your all wrong because AK clubs is the dogs balls


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,142 ✭✭✭Whyno


    75clubs is the only hand you want...Rem it has to be clubs fold everythin else...:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭barrera


    88 my traditional favourite, though 66 and 55 have been v nice to me this week. AQ, KQ and KT also warm the cockles.

    AJ is an evil little ba$tard that shows no mercy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,448 ✭✭✭Lazare


    Far too little abuse in this thread imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭TripleAce


    Why so many players hate JJ is beyond me....such a lovely hand IMO!

    Hot, but she is too easy....long term Queen of clubs is the one to go for!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 250 ✭✭Pabloh


    Nine-deuce of diamonds is the best starting hand - diamonds make more flushes than other suits and everyone always plays high cards or suited connectors so you've a better chance of hitting the flop with 9/2. Fact.
    :eek:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    You certainly put them in a world of pain with your 92.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Swazy911


    I like the 10 7 ; 9 10 and 3 5 suited makes it better,

    And 77, nearly always flop the slot machine

    yea? omg wow i think 77 flops more sets than any other pair too..i think it's because it's in the middle of basically of all hands.. what do you think y'all?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Swazy911


    Hate KK, nearly always wind up against AA, or a trashy A
