obrien64 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 for me its A K. I know its a great hand but almost everytime i get it someone raises so i call, usually get involved in a huge pot only for them to turn over AA. I very rarely pick up a straight, or flush if its suited. as soon as i get it i start wondering who has the aces. Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 JJ, TT, cause I end up tossing them away more often than not when an overcard hits Link to post Share on other sites

Smiff85 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 AJs looks better than it is and is often dominated by hands that reraise, not bad in position but in early position cant bring myself to just throw it away Link to post Share on other sites

whippedspoon 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Am I the only one who likes JJ? I love that hand. I usually put in a standard or more raise and you'll usually get called with someone with an Ace in their hand.If the flop comes with a K or Q, don't be scared. You just have to bet out at it, or if you're in position, call if the opponent bets (or raise). People will throw out bets with nothing in their hand and you have to put the pressure on them. The only card I'm worried about is an Ace flopping and either way, you might have a chance to represent that you have an ace, or an ace with a big kicker. If you're playing no-limit, just put the pressure on with jacks, people will throw their hands away. Link to post Share on other sites
doubleatrain 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Whenever I'm on the bubble and pick up either AA or KK, I just know it's going to be a disaster.Okay, so I dont really dread the day I pick up aces on the bubble, they've just been cracked a couple times. My real list is:KJ, AJ, JJ, QJ Link to post Share on other sites
EJ333 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 K3 because I always lose with it and never get to do the crabler dance. Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 99 and AJ. 99 I end up staying too often with an overcard on the board. AJ looks premium, but is marginal against any real action. Both could be best in a lot of situations, but it's pretty hard to tell sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
wisky_VI 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 JJMe and my buddy have a nickname for it 'Hand o Death' !! Link to post Share on other sites
Sushiman 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 AK: practically everytime i play this hand someone is calling me with A rag, flop comes rags, and the turn is an A at which point I'm reverse dominated whichout even knowing it. 88: The last 4 times I've had this hand in NL I've hit my set on the flop only to have the board be coordinated and someone draw out on me. It's some kind of ridiculously cursed hand. Link to post Share on other sites
EyeintheSkyy 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 AQ. I call it the "death hand" cuz it knocked me out of so many tourneys when I was first starting out. Link to post Share on other sites
gregdon8 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I really dont understand how you put KJ in front of AJ or even JJ?KJ is junk except for when you have position in an unraised pot.For me1. 99-JJ2. AJ Link to post Share on other sites
macphec 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 K 10 A 10 in late position always seems to run into a big hand in the blinds Link to post Share on other sites
FloppyNuts 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 QQ: Very profitable of course, but perhaps the most frequent bustout hand in tournaments. Link to post Share on other sites
