    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

  • Registered Users 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 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!
