You should work on your play with AA.
72 is rubbish and you should not call with it. Out of the blinds, if no one has raised, or from late position, against very tight players in the blinds, it may be playable. But don't overdo it.

i guess we all have our little favorites, i find it hard to lay down pkt 6s as they allways seam to hit for me, i also like 5,6 allthough i dont go overboard with it, as for 7,2 you really need a new favorite hand.

Too much christmas cheer.............LOL I wanted to show you a hand i played the outher day, but pokerstars has a shitty handhistory, so im not serching for it. Started on BB with 2 7, called a min raise with 6-7 outher ppl in pot. flop comes out 277 :}, tons of action PPs and ak want to play so i get to re-raise, anyway it held and i collected around 30k (tourn) and that put me in 1st (360 players .10) ended up taking 3rd place, all thanks to 2 7 But dont play 2 7 its a waste of money.

i think everyone has his favorite hand. i like to play 2 10, no matter if suited or offsuit. and most of the time i get at least my 2 pair´s...i simply have luck with this hand. plus...with such hands you win big pots like vs tatooiz whos raising big or going all in with his AA on turn/river

He should work on his play withh AA, too.
And with T2 you have to hit at least 2pair. You can't trust your kicker.

Posted by izac220606: i know what people say its the worst hand you can get. but if i get 2 7 i play it,i have better luck with them then i do with aa
what does everyone else think?
I like to play stupid hands every once in a while, with a little raise pre-flop and then make a decision. Nobody suspects you actually raised with something like 2/7 4/9 etc and you can use that to you advantage. But If you make a habit of this your never going to get anywhere in this game.
That's true, you should once in a while try to raise with one of them preflop & see if a continuous bet can win the pot or eventually flopped big. People will never put you on these hands. Big advantage

not really big advantage. A shark will trap you more likely than you will trap the shark. So would you play 2 pairs on stack if you have 2T or 27? What about top pair? Just you need a lot of luck...
