Most over-rated / under-rated hold \'em starting hands?
My vote for most over-rated is QQ. All too often I am beat by a fish playing K5os or A4os. These players somehow always play Kings or Aces if there is 1 in their hand, even facing raises or reraises.
My vote for most under-rated would be A2suited. It seems like an awful hand because of the trouble you can get into with the low kicker. However, I really like how the 2 plays into the flush draw so much and yet so little: it is another card of the suit you're looking for, yet the Ace high is the only thing that counts for the value of your flush.
