What's Your Favourite Poker Hand??

[Garth Kay]

Be polite please gentleman.
Everyone is entitled to having any hand as their favourite hand. These hands can be favourites for any reason.
Mine is Ten eight suited or off suit, Nathan as previously mentioned is 8 3 suited clubs or something like that.
Kid Poker's is Ten Seven off suit.

Do not belittle player's for their views or favourite hands.
Only I am permitted to do that.

Not fair Garth, so my J 8 suited is not too bad then LOL

As I'm sure I can make a straight one day that's not expected LOL.

[bennymacca]

i think the point i was trying to make is, no worries thats your favorite hand, thats fine, but i hate when people say "it always hits, always, so i gotta play it" or words to that effect.

daniel neg's fav hand might be 10 7, but i bet you wont see him call every time with it, or try to tell people that it hits every time. (maybe with a moster stack, and he plays a pretty wide range anyway, but thats not the point)

PS. btw, i am not saying arsenal42 is suggesting that 6-2 hits every time, but i am just having a general whinge.

PPS. mine is 10J of spades

J 8 is actually my favourite hand.

7 8 seems to be the cards the Poker Gods were telling me to play last night, I got it dealt about 6 times last night, and it won me a big pot to ensure I came 2nd.

If only I'd called with K7 later

[Nevah play JJ]

I dislike any hand with a J
Especially JJ

But I do love small suited connectors.
56 or 34

Anything like that.

Not a big fan of Big Slick either
He always puts me on the bad beat table... lol

They are some of my fav. I really like JJ, can't actually point to a particular reason why, as I've often over played them and lost. But I guess they are strong enough to push early with, but low enough that it doesn't really hurt if you have to let go of them. That doesn't mean I do let go of them as often as I should tho

Not much of a fan of connectors, I prefer pushing for flushes than straights - more of a rush when you hit and win with your nut flush! Those milking bets are a real challenge to get right when you've hit that strong flush

damn, its so much easier in firefox - speelchkin built in. Why I don't use it more often, I'll never know.

I must say I'll play almost every time I have suited cards moreso if they are connected. I like how it opens more doors for you to hit like, flush, pair, two pairs, trips, str8 etc.

I think that less people play the middle cards therefore they have a better chance to hit rather than those playing the higher cards and giving them less chances. But I still like big pockets too LOL.

I'm sure one of the card counting or % players have the odds already worked out. But I feel good when they hit and the bigger card holders miss LOL. Then "MILK AWAY BABYYYYYYYYYYY", LOL

Bob,

I like the way you say that having two different cards opens the door for trips
