Mine is Q-10. I have got 4 of a kind twice playing the big blind with Q-10. So now when I am dealt it I raise as if I have AA. She is my perfect 10.
Mine is also QT, I don't know why but its seems to give me alot of straights and fullhouses. I'm still waiting on my royal flush with QT though.

Q9 crushes QT any day of the week.

Oh and 33...if you think I have that, just fold. My set has already been made!

My favorite unusual starting handing would have to be 7 10 suited. Aside from being my oldest daughters birthday, I have flopped a couple of straight flushes with it. I have also flopped 10 10 7 with it! Yes..7 10 would have to be it! Running second is 4 6 suited for the same reasons.
See you all at league game today!

ive flopped 2 str8 flushes and had about 6 in my poker career. The 2 i flopped were both live, and both i got 2 people to go all in. The first was a standard hand to play, J9d, but the second was with a 95s, lol. dont know why i played it but it worked out.

I love pocket 2's and 3's. I also like the 5-6 of clubs, I've won a lot with it.

my favoirte is 94 offsuit, because I raise with it screwing around and either bluff people with it, or suck out with it

Me, I'm a fan of the TJs. Not because of the suited connector theory. I haven't sold my soul to Doyle Brunson and I having an idea of the ranking of hands I don't see the value of such without good pot odds.

I'm kinda sentimental after hitting some huge pots both live and online. That and I feel like anyone else in the pot will probably have face cards, A,K,Q so if I see one of those it's easy to get away. If I see all 3 of those I'm gold because you're almost guaranteed to get action because sombody has an Ace or whatever.

Sorry, but that's the donkey in me. It's like one of those real ugly dogs that's just too darn ugly it's cute.
