Brian is going to be mad at me but I'm going to go with [Jc] [9c], just flop me the nuts.

I actually thought about starting a thread like this, but I figured everyone would say AA.

My favorite is 66. Either flop a set and make a lot of money or lose very little when it misses. Rarely tempted to push it too far. 1st live cash in an AC tournament, the big hand was my 66 in the BB. Called a raise. Flop 633 and that hand propelled me to the final table.

Least lucky hand [Ad][Kd]. I believe I have had this hand in just about every live tournament I've ever played (in a legitimate casino poker room) and I can't remember winning with it once.

I love 72o. In the home games I use to play in London it was an unwritten rule that it should be played like aces. It was the only game where a 7 and a 2 on the flop in a raised hand was a danger board.

I made the mistake of playing this in a live game in vegas, playing 2/4 I raised UTG with it. One call, flop comes low with a 2 so I bet, get raised but call WTF (it was 4am and I was drunk). Turn blank, she bets and I call (cos I can). River 7, sweet. She bets I raise and she calls. She turns over queens and gives me the worst look of disgust I have ever seen when I turn over my power house. She left shortly after muttering about limey cocksuckers...
