Do you have an emotional hand you play? (2 Viewers)

[JScott]

We all know about Texas Dolly's , but do any of you have strange hands you always play?

Well ever since I explained some of the hole card names to my group like "big lick" "prom night" etc for I've found if I folded this hand pre-flop I'd regret it. I treat it like a premium hand and it's become a winner, total luck and no science behind it, but I can't fold it. Last game we played I flopped a full house with this hand and funny enough I couldn't get action on it. The good news is any time there's 6's and 9's on the board I get extra respect from my group even if I'm not holding.

Any stories from you guys of similar? And yes, I'm a 38 year old child, I find 69 hilarious.

Oh, and the 4 suits in poker are: Hearts, diamonds, spades...and puppy paws. Always.

 

[kaimat]

In person I almost always play @72o at least to the flop just so I can flash them babies down face up if I can get one of my friends to fold.

 

[Josh Kifer]

J3....we call it "The Invisible Swordsman" and if it ever flops out, my entire table will tell "Swordsman!"

 

[Highli99]

I know a guy who’s affectionate for 47. it seems to work well for him.

Once in the game my idiot brother made a set of twos and yelled quack quack mother F&CKeR at his opponent who then quit poker. Now we all say it to each other whenever pocket twos wins. So yea that means we all play pocket twos more than we should.

I get very emotional with pocket aces. There’s something I can’t explain about it. I always play them.

Where did this friend go to college (the friend who likes 47) I have a theory.

It's always been puppy feet on the east coast...

I think penn state. Unless he just likes silly lions enough to put them on custom poker chips.

My favorite hand is , but that's not really a "strange" hand to play.

I have a poker game with my close friends, we all grew up listening to snoop dogg, Dr Dre in high school and thought we were super cool. Because of that Nine Deuce and Six Four get played a lot in that game.

 

[FordPickup92]

Where's the K8 science! thread at? That was a funny read. Sometimes Ben and I do the science thing too when the flop comes out K8

This so describes my entire play group that I can see it as if I was there.

 

[72o]

Yup same here. We’ve always played the @72o game where if you win with that hand you get an extra dollah from each player at the table. It actually made my crew raise more often preflop so you’re less inclined to limp with that hand so that’s been great as a result.

 

[Coyote]

I like the paired by any other 10

QQMF!

 

[bsdunbar1]

Just have won a lot of big pots with it

 

[Ben8257]

@Highli99 the guy that loves 74 is his name Steve by chance? I know a local that absolutely loves 74 off as well!

My hand like many others probably is J10, I don't care suited or not. Obviously preferred, but always seems to at least be in the middle of the action, I'm not married to it... but more than likely always playing that one to the flop!

Pretty sure the old NE crew used to call J2 the ninja, because you never saw it coming.

I always thought Doyle's hand was specifically the 10 deuce of spades?

My favourite hand is usually any that contain at least one card. Bonus points for additional cards.

 

[JZPdub]

One of the guys in my group has won a couple of big hands with 3-6, so it's been named after him. Many other people now play it - "I had to, it was the [name redacted]" Beware of flops with a 3 and a 6.

 

[longflop]

I love QQ, mainly because when I show them I shout "Four Tits!" Also, I won my first club championship with , so I will always play that. Also, I will always fold KK when at @Highli99's house.

 

[raynmanas]

Q4

Q4 was mine as well way back before we got more serious, but i still make mental note of every board it would have done well on.

Where's the K8 science! thread at? That was a funny read. Sometimes Ben and I do the science thing too when the flop comes out K8

Those who play poker who have not been initiated into the alchemy of Science are hopelessly lost:

[Perthmike]

76 suited

 

[Thisfiendis138]

For the winning hand of the first live tourney I played back in like ‘04/‘05.
I’ve given all the money I won from that score plus some bluffing off stacks with it

 

[Saoliver]

J10 suited. I’ve had some big wins with it.

 

[JoeBGo]

I came back from the dead in a big tournament early in my poker days with that hand.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

J10 suited. I’ve had some big wins with it.

Same here. One of them (Jd10d) was my first royal flush live in our home game.

 

[AllHoosier]

K2 or as I call it “the mountain”.

Absolutely awful hand but those times when the flop hits it keeps me coming back the next time. My group knows I play it so it’s always in the back of their minds if the board would help it out.

but do any of you have strange hands you always play?

Nope......."favorite hands" usually just cost you money
