Default Re: Most over-rated / under-rated hold \'em starting hands?

OVERRATED:

AT - People insist on playing this at full tables and I don't know why. (To a lesser degree, AJ).

88/99/TT - It's almost impossible to get a flop without an over yet so many people play them like they're Aces.

UNDERRATED

JJ - It's the 5th best starting hand in HE yet some people advocate folding them out of position early in a SNG. I'm convinced the reason people hate Jacks is because they play them so badly.

JTs - I have busted more slow-playing big pairs with this than anything else combined. It can just hit so many ways.

Suited cards are over-rated, or over-valued. Any pocket cards that suck aren't really that much better if they are suited.
