I think 72 is the worst possible hand, but any low card is bad.
There are quite a few such starting hands. But there are players who rely only on luck, and therefore such cards are always a chance for them :)

The worst hand is what you go into the game with, and cards like 72 are not a hand for me, but a coincidence. That's АД, this is my most useless hand how many times it disappointed me. Like a hand on the card, but I very often lose with it.

I think its widely known that 2 7 off suit is the worst starting hand, lowest cards, cant make a flush or straight with your 2 cards.
72o can also make a flush but not a wheel like 32o. That's why 72o is even worse than 32o

I think 10-2 7-2 9-3 a lot of bad hands, even the same A2 different suits are also a bad hand because when you come out on flop A you'll think you're weaker on the kicker and you're losing so it all depends on different moments

The worst hand is the one you play based only on the cards you have. When you're in the right position and you play with range in mind, any hand can give you the win.

No doubt it is 72o. But we can also have 28o, 38o.

It's the only hand that you're reluctant to muck when there's a single over card among the community cards.

Any hand that does not win the pot, I have gone bust many times playing A/ K Suited and even A/A,
Doyle Brunson won 2 World Titles on 10/2 a hand that would automatically go into the muck early on, but heads up against a smaller stack, any 2 cards can win.
I have even beaten A/K with a 6/2 off on occasion, So basically it depends on the situation and the Poker Gods!

For me it's the "72" of... without a doubt... I think the only way to play this hand would be to be in the BB and make it a "Limp" bet.

In my opinion, I think that the worst card is a 99, because it has a high pair, but whoever has a 10 in their hand always waits for a triplet but never comes. Now if it's in the same suit it's better.
