Bogey Hands and Lucky Hands

[GlasgowBandit]

Following on from my post about the right or wrong play scenario with a pair of Jakes.  A hand I openly admit that I don't like because more often than not they put me in trouble.

I am interested to know does anyone have a bogey hand or a lucky hand and does this alter the way you play if dealt this hand?

My dislike of jacks is well served in that I cans eriouslys ay no matter how I play them they always seem to haunt me.  What I have noticed though is osme times I try and be cute with them and limp in looking for a low flop hoping to get more value.  Since posting this thread I have beend ealt Jacks 4 x and not lost a hand with them.  I have been limping in early position and making it expensive to play in late position if - and this seems to be working for me just now.

Jacks are a good hand, but if they are genuinely a concern for you and are showing a losss in your stats, then it would be wise to treat them like a smaller pair. Play them passively and try to hit sets. If you miss then you can get out cheaply.

I just posted this on your other thread, but it seems more appropriate here.

I seem to lose with pocket Kings a lot more often than I win, not even just outdrawn by an ace but backdoor flushes and ridiculous straights.  I dont play them any different but Im not always ecstatic to see them.

I have specific sub standard hands that I play differently to what you would expect. ie, not chucking the trash away

This has nothing to do with them being "lucky" hands and everything to do with game theory, randomizing my play.

Specific hands, and they need to be specific suits.

I couldn't possibly say what they are, that would be daft.
