Hand category

[UKChamp]

Ala Blonde, I think we should have a category for hand discussions

Des, get to work!

[APAT]

We will be adding a hand section when we launch the Academy next month.  We"ll leave it up for a month or two to see whether the members have an appetite for using it.

I wish you could have one as I have an on going discussion with some poker mates.They insist  :as: qd is a legitimate play heavy starting hand.I disagree and even though I have showed them poker articles stating so they still think its a premier starter.
For some reason in this particular home game has gained talismanic powers too.
Any opinions?

[APAT]

Yes, post it as a new topic here within the hand analysis board.

Does anybody find the points allocation system advocated by Gus Hansen helpful?
:as:= 14
kh = 13
qs = 12
js = 11
td = 10 and so forth.
Starting hand must make 25 to 26 points e.g  :as: qd = 26
Middle position hands 25 24 23
Late or OTB raise with anything if no previous betting.
Is this better than Phil Helmuths ten premium hands concept?  It appears to offer more freedom .
What starting hands do other people prefer?

I agree. imo AQ and Aj are the most over rated and over played hands at a full ring game. I open fold them utg (unless they"re suited of course   )

Also talking of legendry status- hands in my homegames which do is 10,3- any variant- its the nuts
