Once again, I must say that this is the greatest hand in poker:



This time I did make them suited because I found out that they ARE better when they are suited, but are great nonetheless. Okay, so it doesn't look like a high percentage hand but believe me it is. And id doesn't just work for me, it does work for people I play against it. Maybe 3/7 times having this hand will flop you 2 pairs and then half of those times you'll hit a full boat.

But the greatest experience I've seen with this hand was yesterday playing with a bunch of friends. I went all in with A-K and I was short stack, my buddy was like, "I'm gonna take this one right outta your books!!" and flips over J-9 exactly of those suits above. I was thrilled to see the flop even though it showed me my doom:



That's right, he flopped a STRAIGHT FLUSH!! I was doomed (to $5, big whoop), but I knew that it was my hand that won and I have yet to lose with it and now know it's unbeatable awesome power. J-9 is the greatest hand in poker!!
