Pocket tens for me. If one is clubs, then I'm almost bullet proof.

This answer is obvious...
Everyone's favorite pair is AA because it is the strongest. Now, in Poker, if you wait for AA to play you will leave the tournament before it arrives. And when it arrives, there is no guarantee of anything. So it's just a strong starting hand. Don't overvalue anything preflop.

I think it would be too obvious to say AA, but I've had a lot of luck with 88

100 postsss!!! GO GET YOUR PLATINUM status started Lady!!!


And 3s are my favourite, but because I love the number 3. I rarely play them :) lol 3s kind of suck
3s are strong when you go all in, they'll never suspect a weak pair! :ROFLMAO: (disclaimer: this person is trying to catch 3s, go all-in at your own risk) lolol

And WHAT!? I am eligible for PLATINUM?? Already?? My goodness I have been quite addicted to the forum :LOL:

My favorite hand in poker is a pair of 99, whenever I play with that hand I always win, I think I will always do so until I lose.

What do you like to start with the most?
I can see that everyone has their own preferences regarding your question. I see that there are players who, for example, have a pair of 88, or a pair of 66, or even 22 as their favourite pocket pair. And it looks quite strange. That is, if these players had a choice of what pair to get, they would not choose, for example, a pair of AA, but instead would choose 88, 66 or 22. I think this is an anomaly :)

... i prefer low pairs, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6... even more so when 3-bets or 4-bets were made...

AA is my favorite pair, but I have to be smart about playing these hands post-flop.

For me the best pair is 10-10, I like it a lot, it is very versatile and you can have a very aggressive game.

77. Easy to fold. But when it hit another 7, it can win big. For some reasons many players don’t put much weight on a 7.

As long as people keep asking I gonna state the obvious: if you don't have any emotional affection for some other pair due to prior events the answer is always AA.

As long as my opponent doesn't turn up QQ, I love the AA, but I feel like mine always get cracked by the Q's...
