84 off suit all the way! This hand was created by a former CC moderator Jack Daniels as a challenge to win an "all in" with it for our scavenger hunt competition. The scavenger hunt challenge was to get verifiable screenshots of 20 different hands all chosen by the moderators.
It was far from easy to get all 20 hands for me playing at least 8 to 10+ hours a day! I finally hit it playing heads up at a CC invite only tournament with a lot of friends on the rails. Basically I had a slight chip lead & on a whim called a pf raise. The flip came down 8 4 4 & my opponent got aggressive so of course I slow played him til he jammed all in with no pair no draw.
It wasn't the win that was epic it was the chat from the rails I remember best . It was also my last of the 20 hands to get & several people had 19.

I love it when players say they have a Favourite hand in Poker, as 9 times out of 10 they are not as lucky as they believe them to be. They tend to forget the number of times their favourite hand lets them down, and still insist they are always a winner with that one particular hand.
I was on the big blind in one game I was involved in when the player UTG shoved all-in declaring he had his favourite hand, slowly around the table, players folded and he then announced Jack/10 suited. I was ready to fold my BB as I really didn't want to lose my Chip lead so readily with a King/10 off suit, but when he announced his favourite hand I snap called.
My reason for changing my mind was simple, if he paired his ten, I would also pair but have the bigger kicker, so I only had to worry about his Jack. Neither of us improved on our hands and I took him out with a measly King High, That's why I don't have a favourite hand, I have won hands with 7/2 and lost many hands holding A/A or K/K, any two cards could win, and any two can lose, It all depends on the Flop, Turn and River who finishes up the winner and who has the long walk of shame!
That's why I don't have a Favourite Hand!

It all depends on the situation, the type of poker and the type of opponents. Against some tight players it is dangerous to enter even with King+Queen at the early stage of the tournament.Here 99% of inrocks have a favorite card A A.Remember that even a weak combination of your opponent (for example, Deuce + Three) can “run over” your pocket Aces on the flop.

I prefer top pairs. Aces and kings and queens or even jacks are strong enough cards that I'm willing to take risks with. If I have a choice between AA and KK, I'll certainly prefer AA.

Of course, I would choose pocket aces, but a pair of kings is also quite promising

Of course, AA, with such a hand there are slightly better preflop chances than with KK.

One-suit "J10", "Q10", "QJ", "K10", "KJ", "KQ" and, of course, "AK". They give an opportunity to double up and sometimes triple up my stack in the early stages of tournaments. Yes, I probably like "AK" even more than "QQ".
