Default Favorite Hands

Just curious on what types of hands (other than the obvious AA, KK, AK etc. "not top staring hands"), people play just because of superstition or favorite numbers or whatever.

Mine is A8o. Sounds stupid, but I always seem to play it, It has brought me a lot of luck.

I wasn't sure where to post this.

K9o and K8o were the two biggest money losers in my poker traker database. I've stopped playing those hands. They won around 12% of the time... ugh.

Playing Heads Up in my last monthly Home NL tourney I picked up 99 twice in five hands, and both hands flopped the set. The first hand beat 10 10, and the second I was able to get opp all-in for the win.

It's my new favourite hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Peter

KQo. I think 2+2ers underrestimate it's power. Many even value it ahead of AJo which I consider heresy.

AXs. I love having making the nut hand (flush obviously) and getting into a betting war on the river (and sometimes the turn).
