Default worst hand to call with on the button

With a 10 person table, what's the worse hand you guys would call with on the button?

I realize it depends on factors, perhaps you could tell me those factors.

Mine's probably somewhere between 64s and 86s, but I'm not sure.

I realize that, if there are more than 2 callers, any 2 cards can get 2 pair. So I'm guessing that suited and connected are very important in that case, right?

If there are 1 or 2 callers, I have found that top pair descent kicker usually wins.

Looking for advice.

From the button, you want to play quality speculative hands - this means 2 face cards, suited connectors (or suited 1-gap connectors), pocket pairs, and suited aces. Of course, this does change depending on whether or not someone raises preflop, among other things, but this is a good guide.

awsome, what's the worse hand you would raise with if it's folded around to you and you're on the button?

Thanks!

Depends on how tight the blinds are playing. Those who are uber-tight, I'll raise with just about any hand. If the blinds are calling stations, I'll stick to just pocket pairs, and 2 cards 10 or higher.
