I'm new to the game, but I'm loving it.

I have some questions about starting hands, what is considered the best starting hands in the game?

I would think something like this would be preffered: A /images/graemlins/diamond.gifA /images/graemlins/heart.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I've been having some good luck at this game. Played 4 times, won 2 and 3rd in another.

By accident once. Didn't know the rules or the hands. Came in 2nd just by betting randomly.

Yeah, once one of my friends was playing and he accidentally joined a $10 pl O/8 sng. He didn't have a clue as to how to play the game, so I, having a miniscule amount of knowledge about the game, took over and won it against some horrid play.

The best starting hand is AA23, with the Aces suited.

Try the "Other Poker" forum. You may get some better answers there.

Please don't bring this up here.

The O/8 SNGs have to be the easiest ones to place in, but they are incredibly boring. Not surprising.
