Do you play your *favorite* hand differently?

KJatl · #1 02-21-2007, 07:51 PM

Somewhat of a random/fun question. Do you play your favorite hold'em hand the same way you would with comparable hands, or differently? Like, if your favorite hand is 10-2, do you play it like it's trash (and usually not play it) or do you take a different approach? Do you use your favorite hand as the hand you will mix your game up with and sometimes raise with it even if it's a bad hand? Do you call with it when you shouldn't because it's your lucky hand?

Just curious about some of the replies... I personally have yet to find my own "favorite" hand. Maybe if I ever win a tourney I'll have one to choose...

my favorite hand is Aces and I play them like everyone should play aces.

As I tell everyone who asks, my favorite hand is AA. I prefer the red ones, but any two will do in a pinch.

Yes, I do have one favorite hand, and I do play it a little differently. I play it more loosely, but not by much. It's just for fun really.

I do, my favorite hand is J9s. Or, I like calling it, "the bobbo". Ive lost alot of money with it, both in cash games and tournaments, so it probably shouldnt be my favorite hand. However, it is very pretty.

It's 69s. I was playing 2/4 limit full ring live and got it 3 hands in a row and won each and every one of them in a showdown. I think I got 3 flushes, one of them I had an overflush :P

It was quite amazing.

And yes, it's a leak, but such a tiny one it doesn't really matter. Plus, it is a suited 2gapper so it has some value.

My favourite hands are 55-99 and I play them exactly like any other playable hand on preflop and flop.
