What's your favorite underplayed hand?

[Vovk]

Everyone loves big couples and Broadway one-liners, but I've started to appreciate hands like 76s or A5o in certain positions. Do you have a hand that you like but most players underestimate — and why? I always wonder what creative lines or spots others find profitable with less obvious hands.

74s from the BB might seem pretty marginal postflop, but in blind defense it can actually perform decently on low boards — and it’s a fun hand to play.

One of my favorite underplayed hands is K8 offsuit. It’s not a hand most players get excited about, but I’ve had some solid results with it — especially in late position or when facing weak limps. It can hit top pair with a decent kicker, and when played carefully, it can apply pressure against opponents who underestimate it.

It’s definitely not a hand I go crazy with, but it’s become one of those underrated tools in my range that catches people off guard. Sometimes the “ugly” hands can surprise you!

I've always liked hands like 67s, 78s, or 89s; most of the time you can hit a draw on the flop, whether it's a flush or a straight.
