What's your guilty pleasure in poker?

[s0ftdumps]

Tell us the hand you know you should be folding pre-flop but you just can't resist playing. How much would need to be bet for you to lay it down? (Give an example of what your hand is - mine is Q9 suited).

Thanks to @belladonna05 for this topic idea.

Over betting when I have excellent odds and not taking it to showdown

@s0ftdumps

I understand that is a poker play issue however this question is which hands do you play irrespective of the game, so as I said I play 44 whenever I get it and in position, even if I have them and the flop is A, K Q - but cant lay it down.

Which is your hand?

For some reason i have a hard time folding not sure why but i do. Anyway most times the larger the bet the more i want too call so there really is no limit for me to fold .

 

[EvertonGirl]

I hate folding all pocket pairs, even facing a raise or 2

Dead man's hand...😎

 

[Magallaneroy]

Play 7-2 and flop a full house.

 

[skaterick]

i like k7offsuit . i won a huge hand with it in the late 80s and it became known in our small group as 'the Skateboard hand'

My favorite hand is 97s which I don't fold even on a 3-bet before the flop even though it's a clear fold.

It’s a bit strange to talk about secret pleasures in poker, but if you think about it, such a feeling really exists. When you enter a hand with a marginal hand and hit a strong combination on the flop, you can "spin" your opponent to the last street, putting him on a large part of his stack or even his entire stack.

Alternatively, by sensing the stage of the tournament and the state of other players, you can attack with "air" from both "barrels." It’s not always a pre-flop steal — such moments can arise in other situations as well. The key is to feel the game and seize the opportunities! 🤗💓

The connected hand is adequate whenever there is a high bet, I know that I must give up this one and my guilty pleasure.

I would say i like 2-10s and J-8 suited, usually i play them when there is less action preflop, just to see the flop and hopefully getting a flush draw.
If a villain is raising to 3,5 or 4 BB preflop i fold these hands usually, when im on position and there is only villain you can give it a try sometimes.

I've never considered it a guilty pleasure but KTs is almost impossible for me to lay down. I have won a couple of the biggest pots I ever won with this hand. So it's kind of my "lucky" hand I guess for lack of a better term. I'll pay to see the flop with this in times I probably would have laid down a better hand.

My hand is AJs, I open the pot with a 2.5. BB preflop, and it hurts very often, when I get reraised this hand preflop from any position.
With more then 20 BB stack you will have to reraise with 8 BB+ than I would lay down the hand.

I tend to get out of line if perceive weakness with suited A-2/3/4/5.

Blockers to Aces and can still make NF or wheels.

 

[olejean]

I don't even know what to say! it all depends on the opponents, the course of the game, as well as the level of the game and the prizes that I apply for.

 

[Toruk Makto]

T and 9 is my hand kkk
Who resists?

 

[Toruk Makto]

T and 9 is tempting for me... it's a hand that fits well! Kkk

 

[szabooom]

I have an unhealthy obsession with getting paid playing any variety of 6 9, hit quads and trips recently and literally got a guy to give up chip leader in 2 hands because of the tilt

When my whisky and cigar are payed for by the weeks end.
Having a good week.

 

[ninocabral]

for me it's the K8 suits pre flop up to about 3.5bb I call hahahah and I often still win

 

[x patrice x]

Mine is also something like Q-9 suited, 10-9 suited, J-10 suited, K-10 suited and how much would have to be bet for me to fold is exactly the problem I have with these hands. I don't know!
It depends on the number of players in the hand and varies "as the mood takes me" from day to day.

I like to slowplay if I have a strong combination...
