What’s your hatest hand?

What's your hatest hand and why?

I personally dislike A J the most! Why?

You raise with it and get called and an Ace shows on the flop, the opponent then starts to get aggressive and you ask, does he have an ace also? if he has, is my kicker good enough? You'll be faced with a mind boggling decision.

If you are shortstacked and you go all in with it, expect that if a good player calls you, you are either dominated or only has a 40% chance of winning.

If someone goes all in, you are faced with the decision to call or fold. And this is usually a tough decision. When you call, will you be dominated or risk your stack to a 40% chance of winning?

I really hate this hand but I have no choice but to play it as best as I can if it's dealt to me.

Comments guys?

fold it utg at 9max vs a tight table and fold it vs an open raise from a rock or tight players EP range. Obv still isolate fishies with it/call lags etc etc :).

At least this is what I do at nl10, seems to work pretty good I get in far fewer ugly postflop spots with it. Might be too tight for higher limits though, I guess it just depends on opponents really...

Pocket 2's - How can I not see the flop, but when i inevitably miss it i am drawing dead.

Pocket Q's - Always get this hand and someone else 3 bets my raise. Seems every time i shove i am dominated by cowboys or rockets.

Pocket 4s, never in my poker history have hitted a set with that cards..or at least i cant remeber it.

Pocket KK's, especially against AK,AQ,AJ, cause in 66% there is an A on the flop..

9 2os - can see no valid reason to play it and when I fold it I invariably miss the flop anyway!!

the problem lies when I raise with it middle position and get called. I fold it when someone raises to avoid marginal decisions. But still, I hate A J!

Any hand with a bloody J in it except quads.

QQ guess why... MOST SICK HAND I lost vs 0.11% (equilab) Sometimes 99.89% not enough!

We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing.

i hate 72o as second worst hand in my opinion. But the prize goes to AQs/o I hate that hand. it has given me my worst bad beats and tilt moments (i might be up lifetime on it but i seriously doubt it)

so

1. AQo/s
2.72o.

QQ all the way! And i hate A7 not because i play it but because everyone else seems to and always hits 2 pair or a top pair A with a gutshot that they just cant fold!
