Your Nemisis Hand?

lol the ladies do good by me normaly, but I do have A nemisis hand he even has A big name, Big Slick!. Hey Big If you are so slick how come you miss the board altogether 8/10 times when I play you huh.

Anyway hope that makes you feel A bit better.

and GL on and off the felt's.

P.S Big Slick, I'll be seeing you later on the felt's so start living up to youre name.

The last 10 days my nemisis hand has been any hand where i have a commanding lead (5 to 1 or more) going into the river. I can't win one to save my life.

my best starting hand yet seems to always fail is KK. I dont know why but i ahve tried to do everything , i.e. limp in raise , re-raise and of course all in with much the same results so is it the way i play them? i don t think so, i believe it is more likly the unpredictability of players that screw up great hands. Example at saturdays freeroll, i got KK raised it to 400(blinds 50 -100) i get i call, flops is 9 K 2 diamonds, i bet 1000 and he calls, turn is Q clubs, he checks and i push all in. he is holding a Q(diamonds)and a 4 of clubs? and make s the call. you can guess that he hit the flush on the river. Now here is my delema with this, what the hell was he doing in the hand the first place and then staying in it so long. so i think this shows that even if you play it right there is always someone around that is new or really doesn t care about winning that makes them play marginal or shit hands. What do you think?

gotta agree with nek...KK is my killer. Last month, out of eight straight times I started with kings, I lost every time! Doesn't seem to matter how I play them, somebody always catches up and beats me.

Ace, King....I seem to never win with this hand, ever. I have won more all-in battles with a ten high card, than with AK. It's terrible, yet, like you said, I always seem to play the hand, too good of a hand to not play.

Try getting a free demo version of one of the poker mgmt programs, such as PokerTracker3. One of the many features of these programs is they track the win rate % for every hand ranking you are dealt. Then you can truly see that your QQ's are most likely very successful.

QQ's win 73.91% for me in tourneys, and 70% in cash games.

Having said that, AQs wins 62.86% and AQos wins 65% in tourneys for me, but in last night's RB tourney they were a combined 0 for 4, and eventually ended my tourney losing to 45s.

AK is the hand that loves to F me. I call it the snake hand. It bites me if whatever side of the table it is on. I have tried playing it many different ways with the same yucky result.

AK....kills me when I have it. Kills me if it's against my QQ, JJ, or 10's. Just doesn't seem to matter how I play it either. Limp, raise, call a raise...it's always the pits.

Kind of backwards, but the hand that has lead to my being knocked out of my last two tourneys, was my AA versus my opponent's AJ. Its sucks to because both times my opponents went all in preflop so we had to see all 5 cards.

Without a doubt...mine is pckt J's. I couldnt with with that hand if there were 30 more of them in the deck. Some one would pull 5 Q's out of their butt.

Ditto to Daacker == Pocket JJs

I am at about 99% loser with that hand. (that's not a typo) Most recent loss was to an 8-3 o/s, where I flopped jacks full and lost to 4 x 3s on the river.

As that little Runt, Daniel N, would say..... "that's poker"

Close second bad beat hand is A-J.

Sorry that is Gaacker (that was atypo )

gotta be AJ for me. . .when i play it i lose, when i fold it it always seems to win.

Daacker's ok....least it wasnt Slacker...
