Well, this is a somewhat unserious question but it would still be fun to hear what you guys have to say!
My favorite one is no doubt beating AA with 72 off suit, preferably with a flush using my 2 Of course the only reason I would play this hand is if I would have been eaten up by the blinds and literally only had like 10% of the big blind left in my stack and couldn't afford another ante.
I like when my opponent shoves a K high flush draw and gets called by a ace high flush draw... Then we both hit nothing and the ace high holds
It happened to me lately live in a cash game against an aggro donk, I was holding Ac7c and other guy had KcQc. I raised 4x pre flop, he called and flop came Jc 6h 8c, I c-bet 5 (half the pot), he raises to 10, I repop to 30 and he instantly shoved to 80. I called and I saw exactly the hand I wanted to see. Turn was a beautifull 2 of diamond, and river a 4 of spades.

Very situational.. I don't really enjoy beating a decent players AA or KK if it involves a suckout. But I enjoy it if I'm able to do so with correct implied odds and good play.
On the other hand: VS a complete a*****e / enemy at the table I absolutely LOVE to beat their monsters with some trash-hand suck-out. Nothing like taking an idiots stack with 5J vs AA and hitting trip Js or something and then berating them in the chat for the bad play.

Personally, while it's great sucking out, I hate winning hands where I'm the underdog, as it usually indicates I misplayed the hand. Any hand where you get it in as a dog is -ev, and I know that even if I do suckout, I'll lose in the long-run. On that note, I like winning any hand where I'm ahead, but then they suck out, but I re-suckout. Seems like justice served in my books. Good exaomple of this is when you ship it pre with aces, they flop trips, then you hit your miracle ace on the river I like to picture them sitting at their computer, cursing their "bad luck" when they were lucky to catch up in the first place.

I love that too and get the exact same mental picture. Always makes my heart start pumping with adrenaline when they get lucky. Then I miracle it and am like phew. Takes a few mins to calm down. But theres also the times when the little nonces flop an even bigger miracle and have you drawing dead. Then I shut it down and explode.

yeah, it never ceases to amaze me when after a hand like this they will type into the chat like "Fucking bad beat b******t." Or "stupid rigged site". Some crap like that. Or "you're so lucky".

I had this guy the other day who was sucking out on me incessantly. Which I would have been able to just about handle. As hard as it is. Except for the fact he was giving me s**t calling me a fish when he was calling 4x even 6x raises on 63 off 42 off etc when he was short stack. Then I'd make a comeback, for it to happen again. Him calling me a fish when hes just beat me playing qq very aggressively when hes got 42, but he was really bad wouldn't shut the f**k up. He took me out too. That was it for the day.

Your hand is nice, but we all know it's something very different to watch at the tables. About real things, which i already have had the oportunity to play, it's very funny to read the comments of someone with AK who just lost to JT in a JTxxx table for being waiting for a Q that never come to the table. Or beating AA with 9T with two pair or straight and the oponent saying only crazy people plays with those hands. Both already happened to me, were well played, although i'm not explaining everything here, and felt great!!

Doarulle: Actually you only had 92,8% chance pre-flop with a 1,35% chance of a draw meaning your opponent had abut a 5,85% chance of winning. The flop helped you a little bit but when the turn card came out you only had about 80% chance of winning while your opponents odds increased to 20%. From what I understand you were all-in pre-flop so the odds post-flop is irrelevant. But still, loosing a hand like that isn't fun, and don't really enjoy winning a hand like that either.
All: It's been some really good reading so far, keep the posts up mobsters!

if your talking about preflop ofc any pair.. and ofc AA since it's the best hand. In the flop what i most like .. is to hit a set, since it's the easiest way to win money imo. Most people missread the set and they usually don't give credit to check/raise or betting .. specially when they hit top pair or top2 pair, tho it's something where you can lose a bunch of money for flushes or full houses.. but it's the most straight forward making cash way imo.

Posted by Bassets: AA vs AA getting a flush on the river would be on the top of my list. There's nothing more satisfying or tilting to win or lose with AA vs AA
I never lose or win with AA vs AA i really want to lose with AA vs AA i wanna see my reaction, broken mouse or display of notebook ?

I'm with retri on this one... The hands it gives me more satisfaction to win are those that i was ahead and then the guy sucked out and the river placing order again in the universe lol. In another note its also satisfying when on a race ur under-pair holds on against the others guys High card.
