orville 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 This is kind of an off shoot of the least/favorite hands thread. What are your top ten starting hands?Mine are:1. AA2. KK3. A-K suited4. A-K off suit5. QQ(yeah I know I'll take some heat on that one)6. JJ7. A-Q off suit8. KQ suited9. Ax suited10. AQ suited(even though poker tracker says I'm losing money on it)This is a list of favorite starting hands, not necessarily the top ten starting hands.Thanks for the reply.Orville Link to post Share on other sites

KTW 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 So u want to know what players want to hold vs the literal odds? Fair enough. I get a kick out some players who will see AK up against a PP and jump for joy. I have to shake my head a little. Yes AK looks better, but "Any PP is a favorite over any AK". I do not like any KQ myself. I have not been in severe difficulties with that holding nor do I want to get in trouble. :wink: Link to post Share on other sites

Royal27 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Ax is so cool because by adding that one to your list you get more than one hand without people knowing it. Most people don't realize that there isn't really a card with an "x" on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Pudge714 0 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 So u want to know what players want to  hold vs the literal odds? Fair enough.

I do not like any KQ myself.

I would much rather have AK then a mid pair. Link to post Share on other sites

KTW 0 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I was speaking of "literal" odds. Not "how the hands will fair in actual play". I think AK "looks" better than a small PP aswell, but "Any PP is a fav over any AK". :wink: Link to post Share on other sites

weathermania 0 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I like AA and KK. Everthing else makes me nervous unless I'm on the button.A better thread would be...Top Ten Hands That Do Not Include Big Pocket Pairs Or Aces With High Kickers.Here we go:1) 98s2)87s3)76s4)65s5)97s6)86s7)T9s8)JTs9)JQs10)KQsJust about as unimaginative as my play, but I'm sure there are more interesting lists out there.weathermania Link to post Share on other sites
