ThePokerGeek 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm a blogger, so i'm required by several state and federal laws to say 72 offsuit.... THE HAMMER!!!Show the hammer after bluffing (or as we say, 'bring the hammer down'), and put your opponent on tilt. *Win* with the hammer, and watch people throw chairs. If you're into the psychological part of poker, 72o can be one of your most powerful tools.other than that, my own personal favorite is red 10's, mostly because of a few memorable hands where it won me some gargantuan pots.-PokerGeek Link to post Share on other sites
Downtown Parker 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I play K-8 suited a lot. A tribute to my girlfriend Katie, that's as far as I go with including her in poker. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerspice 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 99 love this hand... have won big pots online and at the casino... also being a girl i find that QQ treats me better than it does any of the guys that I play with, strange... Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Suited connectors and suited gap connectors in a loose game. Things like 53s and 64s. Talk about a stealth hand. You should see how many bets KK will put in with a 785 flop, or a 64x flop. Ultimate stealth hand if the flops are cheap and the implied odds are good. Plus, you should see how irate the loser gets when you make a low boat and turn over 64. Heh heh. I LOVE the reaction I get when I nail that one.Absolutely hate KXs. Well, I do now anyway. In one session early this week, I made K high flush 4 times, and went down to the suited Ace three times, and a boat the other. I know it's not the nut flush, but you dont expect to see a suited Ace everytime you make your K flush. Rog Link to post Share on other sites
jayistheman 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 T8s (preferably T 8 ) - another hand i just love playing in NL. i have no idea why, it's just so... ideal.my favorite as well... as a matter of fact, i busted you the other night with T 8 either that or 44.... always a set with 4's Link to post Share on other sites

Shooter_McGavin 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Any small pair, i.e. 22 through 77... I especially like to play these in raised pots. Nine out of ten times I will have to fold this hand after the flop but when I hit my set I can break someone. This only applies to NL games of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Dunlop 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 6 9 I'm in my first big tournament a few weeks ago. I'm getting shortstacked and we're down to 18 players. First place pays $60,000. I'm in the blind and I've just been doing horrible all day. I'm dealt 6,9 diamonds and I haven't played a hand in a half hour or longer. One caller, I raise three times the blind and get called. Flop comes Ace, rag, rag. Good I can steal, now or never. I'm all-in. The guy says "I have to call," and turns over the exact hand I was trying to represent. A,10, "^%^&*"Turn comes 6 and the river brings me a sweet sweet 9. Didn't win but that pot let me finish 13th and take home $1800 Link to post Share on other sites

The Future 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 J9 never fails!I too like J9... I like any one or two gap connector... can create sneaky straights, and when you flop top two, it's well hidden. Link to post Share on other sites

bigedjr17 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 For some reason 85o used to be my fav, i flopped more trips, boats and 2 pairs with that when i first started palying HE than i can possibly remember..It hasn't been that good to me lately.. so I would have to say Q 10 I just love the look of it and it can be very cool to play when you flop something nice..

AceOfSpaiDs 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 my top hands:AA - i see this hand so rarely in live games, and its only lost 1 time in a live game to meJJ - laugh it up, JJ is good to raise preflop and if the flop comes scary, theres no worry about throwing it away99 - gRETZKY, always push with it when I'm short stack10J - suited, the hand has a lot of potential and easy to get away from67suited - my favorite suited connectormy bad hands:KK - used to love this hand, seems like every time I get it, I lose to 2 pair or an A hits the boardQQ - the b!tches hardly ever win me money, unless I raise the pot with a few callers and the flop is dead and I move all-inAJ - every time I put my chips in with this hand, someone has AQ or AK Link to post Share on other sites
