8-9 suited, no question. Think of all the possibilities with this one and all of the ways you can really hit the flop hard or at least get a dynamite draw with it.

Weird, I never seem to have lucky with 10’s. I flop a lot of sets with kings lately, I don’t know why.

Durden, we already knew that, baby.

I try not to have favorite hands because it usually ends up getting you in trouble because you play them when normally wouldn’t play them.

But my favorites are:

Pocket 10’s. I seem to win quite a bit with this hand and I can get away with it when I sense a bigger pocket pair or flopped pair.

6 7 suited. I have a flush draw, two straight draws (low and the high) and of course the dreaded straight flush draw.

And my favorite crappy hand is 10 5 (suited or off suite doesn’t matter).

I have flopped 2 pair and/or filled with this hand numerous times and no one puts me on it. I only play it in position and if the call isn’t too much.

My favorite pocket pair is 10-10, because for some reason I almost always get a set with it. I have no idea why, must be a karma thing (10 being such a round number, idk).

My favorite hand, without question, is 96 suited. I don’t think any other hand has made me more money, usually when I have a boat and someone else has a straight or flush.
