Which two starting cards hold the most trepidation for you?
In other words I'm not interested in 2 4 off suit or other such easy folds (for most of us mere mortals)
After much thought I have decided upon AQ (just ahead of several others!!)....I raise and if I get re-raised it's usually a laydown and if I miss a flop I usually p*ss chips away firing bullets
Your thoughts please

ace 10, absolutely the worst hand in poker, it's a rag ace that most folks think is not  |

Jacks, I hate to be predictable (actually that's a lie, I don't mind), but there's so many ways to lose.

Im ok with JJ. as long as you play them as a middle pair.
A10/AJ for me
nothing good ever comes of it.

AKo - NEVER won a hand with it. Not even keen on AK suited - won one showdown with it - always seem to get out-drawn  However last night my JJ stood up to AsKs - Flop    Turn  River J  deserved some luck (IMHO anyway). |

After last night on UB QQ, especially if my oppnent has AQ...  Usually JJ though. I get creamed by it so often and I rarely win with it. |

I like KK - certain players I know really hate it though. Least favourite: J,T suited or not. Never connects for me, ever. See a 7,8,9 flop vrs me. Rest assured I don't have J,T. |

too many players over-rate JJ and AK, therefore overplay it ITS TRUE! they expect them to hold up often....which they dont. If you want a tip limp with JJ unless in mid-late position its made me win more with jacks by a long way...it traps people with hands like AT and A9.
My worst hand? Gotta be A9, its basically ace-rag cost me too much from where people have also limped with AT or AJ

From genuine hands, probably those annoying middling pocket pairs like 9-9 and 10-10... never sure how aggressively to play them and they cause me more trouble than middling A-x hands. Least favourite hand overall is clearly Q-9. Never had one before, but then somehow got all my chips in with this in back to back tournaments, and was shown aces both times  |
