My worst A2 story was in a $100 MTT on UB last year....I had never played better (even when winning a MTT)....I am 2nd in chips...am on the button...do a standard raise with A2...the BB calls (He has enough chips to cripple me...)flop comes 522....BB checks.....I bet 1/2 the pot....I get raised...(I now think...hehe...I got this fool...)...I smooth call....turn brings a A (wooohoo!)...BB insta-allins...I call...he has 55...and I am OUT.I got up from my chair and screamed: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"I finished 11th.That hand haunts me because I always seem to flop something good with it and it is always second best.I still raise it near the button shorthanded though.... :wink:

Aren't most of theses hands that you RATIONALLY hate? I mean, it's pretty rational to hate J4o. Or is EVERYONE being sarcastic?
but it is not rational to hate J4o more than, say J3o or 92o. they're all crap hands. most of us just have hands that seem to be super-crap for us personally.and as for the AA post, i hope no one flames him. losing 12K is not the type of thing i was referring to in my original post.

Actually, no, it's not rational to hate J4o unless you really hate every junk hand. If you don't have any bad experiences with it, then it's just another weak hand.

Well, the perfect response would be whatever hand outdraws my aces.... again... and again.... and again......but the hand i hate the most is A10.... a pretty decent ace... but if the ace hit's the question always lurks: "does that fcker have the better ace..."or a flop a bs two pair w/ a4.

Not in 8ob I hope.
Stud Hi. Been running REAL bad with this hand lately....
Gotcha. It's kind of a sneaky little hand though. I love that sort of hand in a short handed game. Great to steal with, and very tricky if you hit your five when somebody decides to call your bluff.

Yeah, usually I like the hand, but the problem lately is that I DO hit my 5 on 4th street, and then end up getting alot of money in the pot, only to be rivered by either a gutshot or a runner runner flush......

LOL. Gotta love that. I've had rolled eights and tens both cracked this week in huge pots. Makes my testes hurt.

Yeah, about three or four weeks ago, I had rolled Aces, made quads on fifth street, and lost to a runner runner st. flush....definitely needed a break after that one...so, I'm not a big fan of rolled Aces right now either, until I win with them next anyways.

It's really a shame that stud doesn't get discussed more on this forum. You play on stars right? What limits? Maybe I'll stop by the forum douche's game sometime.

I hate A9o. I play a lot of limit. I always pick up this hand in late position, everyone folds to me and I raise it up to take the blinds, only this never seems to work out. Even if I've been stealing the blinds all night with rags, I always run into someone that picks this opportunity to play back at me and regardless of what I do, it doesn't work out. I still refuse to fold in this spot though.I hate JTs and J9s too. Things don't go my way there too often either.

10 -2 O, just because I get this stupid feeling that it has made Doyle famous, so it may bring luck. I seem to play it religiously and it could help explain why my bankrol is still about the same as you can find under neath the cushions in your couch. I know he plays it heads up with good odds and all the other stuff, but I wish I could toss it away :evil: in a full ring game.Stupid is as stupid does.

First step is identifying the problem. Second step is to get rid of it. Let me give you a little advice that my therapist once gave me:STOP IT!
