What Poker hands can you just NOT get away from...

Dante · May 27, 2005

when playing either Tourney or Live what are your favorite hands or hands you just have to see the flop on...

something about Q 8 for me....especially if suited I need to see:smoker2:

Kiss1 · May 27, 2005

8-9 suited, played like Rockets

ProPokerPlayer · May 27, 2005

For me none...cept for aces ill fold just about anything depending on the situation....but for most players A/? guarantees a ride to the turn at least. ive gotten sucked out of more hands by someone riding ace/anything than any hand i can think of..

RacerX · May 27, 2005

For some reason...i'll always play J,10 suited. I've won a lot of money with those cards.

I'll play j,10 offsuit if there are no raises....

i'll fold K,10...but play J,10....

i think i've finally figured out that i'm dead money.

K-5 its my luck hand.. it seems improbable, but I swear I get 2 pairs on the flop more times than not with this hand

Fishhead · May 27, 2005

A-A

Now this could change AFTER the flop.

I agree with J-10 suited i've won more money on that hand than Ace-King (The anna kournikova of cards, looks good never wins)

AA is obvious but KK is another one hard to fold too.

Especially, with raises but I always stay...

I was thinking the same thing.

Every other hand is dependent on position and raises.

Though AK, KK also qualify.

Everything else could be worthy of a fold, depending.

I have folded AA a few times in tourneys so obviously I could say anything is foldable when the situation is right for me.

well AA though before the flop you should be making it very hard for someone to stay in with there gut shot straights or flush draws with a huge raise IMHO....:smoker2:

SteveMcGarrett · May 27, 2005

I always raise with 6-9 first to speak. Seems like i win more than lose plus i get to make the statement to the shocked looked on my opponenets faces that "Its my lucky hand!"

J-5 of spades for me

I've won 2 tournaments with that being the final hand of it, now I don't go crazy and start calling raises with it.

The hands I am having a lot of trouble with are medium pockets....JJ to 88......i would raise, get called by the BB or SB then the flop is all undercards.....he check raises me....tough to fold unless I know the player.

suited connectors, the higher the better.

my philosophy is the other way around....the lower the better lol....hell even up to 3-4 suited in the early stages of tournaments.....I just don't feel comfortable calling raises with J-10 or Q-j suited because i don't want to get stuck on the flop with a lets say J-J-A flop....when i could very well be drawing dead...............7-8, 8-9, 6-8, 5-7, 8-9....love seeing raised pots with them in position.....if you hit a monster they will keep betting into you with aces or kings or even try to bluff you.
