I like AK suited. I don't like pocket pairs. I am not good at playing pocket pairs. :sneaky:

I don't have a favorite, but I like small pairs, because easy to make trap with them.
I don't stick to a specific hand because then you can loose really big.

I feel top pocket pairs are risky because improving the hand odds are not so great. Thats why my favorite pocket hand is definately
K T suited. Folks may think thats odd but i've had more luck improving K Ts than improving Pocket pairs. If i had the choice of K Ts or pocket A A side by side i would take the pocket AA. But if i was at the table and saying to myself come on cards give me, I would be saying give me the KT s. It would be easier to fold if you are pushed by All In where folding a top pocket pair is very hard to consider. You are almost commited to call an All In with an AA pocket. How many times have you or have you seen A A pocket pair get beat? Often.

Classic As Ks. When checking in the BB 78s, this hand has brought me good fortune multiple times.

Depends on the game but in NLH it has to be Pocket Aces, right? :)

I don't have a favorite hand. I'll play any hand. The obvious answer would be AA, but this hand loses much more often than I would accept. If you're aggressive, everyone runs and you win a paltry pot with a top pair in your hand. If you play passively, you'll get a bad beat. So don't have a favorite hand. This is a leak in your game. Play whatever hand comes up in the right way for the hand and your position. That's it...

My favorite hand is KK because of its skill and because it is the second highest pair. Since I play when I am in the final stages and I get that hand I usually bet everything. My percentage of winning going all in is favorable, I would say 55% of winning.

10-10 seems to flop a set way more than it should. Normally would fold this in reraise to a tight player but I stay in with it and get rewarded often.

it may say strange but on poker pro lessons the pro suggests in micro A-A should always be a shove preflop. It has been the most profitable hand over a sample of 16,000. It feels a bit embarrassing but all the folds are still winning the blinds and the calls I win 80%
Great ROI :)

Not the best starting hand, but I like 5,7 suited if I can get in the hand cheap.

It's a real money maker when it the flop hits it and well disguised.

So this is 'favourite hand' not Best hand obviously best is AA but based on what I have won with mostly I would have to say A4s, my lucky hand for sure.

After hours of considerations I go with AA
In PLO it is AAKK double suited.
