Was just curious about what hands you often experience bad luck, bad beats or similar with.
I have one which I too often loose either money or ends tournaments with.
AQ is my nemesis hand. Have been send out around 1/3 of the tournaments I have participated in with that hand all-in and lost. For some reason this hand get me in trouble.

AA seams to be my worst hand surrering some bad beats with it.probably only winning 25% of the time eighter i play it wrong or it just hates me.where as if i get Q4 i win 75% of the time.poker.game of madness.

A-K, I was on a cruise casino playing $2-5 NL and only played two hands the whole time, A-K eack time, lost the first one to K-2 (K on the flop, 2 on the river) and second one to Q-10o (all in preflop, the q hit.)

I have horrible luck with KK sometimes. Not always I would say I win with it about 35-45% of the time that it comes to a showdown but I have horrible luck playing it against A-RAG which by the way people is not a hand to call away 75% of your stack to hoping for an A preflop.

jj and aj suck hardcore at least in my hands,i know that aj for example is not thee ultimate all in hand but in head up sit and go ,i think it is worth an all in call but no matter how lose the idot is im palying against whenever i make a call with aj im dominated. for example i play a guy that moves all in all the time after folding like 15 times in a row i pick up aj and whenever i call at that spot i lose .

I have almost always bad luck with KK and QQ. Every time I get it, I see an AS on flop and I'm oft all in just for nothing. That happend 2-3 times last few days, so I started only to "call" when I became that combination and it's working.

Last time i dont have many bad hands... But thats cos i'm playing much more tight
As a sit n go player i learned that in early position with low blinds limp in with hands like AK JJ TT 99 and even fold AQ AJ 88 ect. As blinds gettin bigger play little bit more. As blinds go really high play Ax ect. I'm winning more and in the beginnen not bad suckouts So no bad hands for me lately

For me its gotta be AA, iv a bad habbit of slow playing it or just doing a small raise to get 1 or 2 ppl in, and when the flop comes AA looks out of shape so i cant play it or it looks good and iv let some one hit trips and when a board is rags the river screws me, so from this day forward AA is all in.

Never slowplay AA unless you are able to fold them later in the hand..... If you are determine to go all the way despite the flop, turn and river.... GO ALL-IN PREFLOP to eliminate mediocre hands which can strike lucky and beat AA.
