Default Hand you most dislike getting dealt? apart from trash.....

For me KQ offsuite. Hate it. I think this is one of the most overated, and how many times do you see newbies go all in with it, in a multiway and get done by just about everything else.

Anyone else ?

There's a real easy solution to your problem.

1) Learn to play it.

What is going on with these posts?

That's an interesting perspective. When I see this, I make a note against the newbie, and usually get money off him at some point cos of poor post-flop playing (not necessarily poor selection though). When I get it, I play it appropriately. What's to hate, unless you're playing like the newb...errr...never mind

Yes you are correct, and I do know how to play it. That doesn't stop me disliking it. KQ off in my opinion is more a mediocre hand than a big one (ie. A queen with a good kicker, but not the best).

I could go into positions when recieving it, how late in a tourney etc, but this post was meant to be a lighthearted "worst hand etc " poll. that's all.

When you don't have a special feeling about any of them, but know which ones to play in each situation, you will find you are winning at a very nice clip.

To all the legit posters out there, I really enjoy reading about all the different areas of poker theory and I think 2+2 has really helped my game. Too bad I have to often wade through posts like this. I think a new section called "Uneducational Randomness" should be made for these types of posts. It'd be one thing to ask how to play KQos because u have trouble with it, etc. but to turn these boards into bad beat laments and whatnot really takes away from the quality. Thanks to all those who post real questions and real advice.

I vote for AJo. I always want to play it, and when an Ace hits, I never know where I stand. . . Always tough.

(not that I don't play it, mind you! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )

I also hate KQ. Every time I look down at them, I feel like they're judging me. So I yell, "You don't know me! You don't know me! [censored] you! STOP STARING AT ME!!!" I just want to smack the smug smiles off both their faces.

Hmm... I guess that's kind of a tell. Anyway I really hate KQ.
