Favorite Poker Starting Hand
Besides pocket Aces, what hole cards are you happy to see?
Suited connectors, low pocket pairs hoping to hit trips, paint of any kind? J, 10 suited for me is always a nice combination for the up and down straight.

I can tell you what I don't like: KQ - nothing but trouble for me.

ive kept a graph of all ins with pp's since 2026----pocket 9's for me is the best percentage hand ever----a's running barely over 50% k's running under 47% with over 400 hands in 14 years of data 9's 62%

I have to agree.. after pocket rockets.. or the other big PPs... I would have to say that J,10 suited would be my favorite starting hand to see a flop. Don't seem to hit much when I have it, but when I do it makes for and interesting hand at times. Calling raises with J,10 suited I may do sometimes... but I won't overvalue playing it. Some players will play their favorite hands seemingly no matter what they have to call to see a flop, but I think having such a favorite hand that you call most any raise to see a flop isn't a healthy habit imho.
