Default Favorite Unusual Starting Hand

Just curious to see if anyone has an unuasual pre-flop hand that you have a hard time not playing.

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.

back when I started playing poker mine was Q9. I loved the hand... now... I fold it, no problem. I actually just got it in MP as I'm writing this, not a hard fold anymore.

Nothing specific, but any rubbish I get to check in the BB that hits the flop big time is pleasing. It is my one chance to get back at the donks with their own medicine.

Q5 suited in diamonds. It's just been my lucky hand, no other real reason.
