Me: Ace Ten. Won my first tourney with that one, was the first I ever entered.

Jack nine is fun to speculate with, when you hit hard (straight) usually someone is holding a card they'll pay you off with.

While I hate to play weak aces, Ace with a 2 thru 4 is a leak of mine. Any two cards in a wheel (a-5 straight) really. People never seem to see that straight coming.

worst hand: pocket aces...I see that lose more times than not.

I folded those preflop today by accident.

My other table just popped up, multitabling, and I was in first postion so I'd just about fold everything. Bad spot too, was nearing the cash and only had maybe 6 bets left.

You just gave me a great idea for a new thread.

AA should never be cracked. Betting properly is key.

any hand can be bet properly to force the others to fold in some situations, but I'd rather not win antes all night. I'm talking losing after the river/final bet.

Sooted middle connectors like 79s and small pairs are best/easiest to play/most profitable in normal deepstacked play.

In normal tournament poker scenarios where you are not deepstacked I'll take AA any day.

I can't remember the last time I didn't have all my money in by the turn with aces.
