Everyone has their favorite hands and then also their less favorites.  For me one of my less favorites is king, queen off suit.

It was all because of one bad experience in my early playing days, which cost me a lot of chips, which I couldn’t really afford at the time.  You know how it goes.  I got sucked in and then sucked out… Started with king, queen off suit – nine, ten on the flop and I was hoping to get some luck on the turn and river, didn’t get much help, so I tried to bluff my way out of trouble… my opponent kept re-raising and eventually called… ouch!  You must know the story.

So now you can understand why I get a nervous feeling every time I get dealt king, queen off suit.  Ok maybe its not that bad that I break out into a sweat, but lets just say that I don’t leap out of my chair with joy and go “WHOOOPEE!!”

King, queen off suit just doesn’t do it for me.  I’ll have a look at the flop most times, to see if I can partner my royals or get a straight going.  But a lot of the times, I’ll just chuck it and fold.  Get out whilst I can, dont want to go there again!
