We encounter moments while playing poker demand us to decide how to deal with our cards. While playing poker, which hand caused you the most struggle? Pocket jacks have been my toughest hand since day one.

What about you?

Pocket jacks have been my toughest hand since day one.

I hate jacks. It's tough to get away from preflop. I also lost $2k Freeroll winnings JJ vs AA when I was 14, so that's another reason why I dislike that hand, but still play it aggressively.

I also find AJ, or A10 hard to play. I don't like getting re raised preflop, because sometimes when you hit your A, you're crushed by another ace with a better kicker.

Some hands are harder to play than others. We want to win every hand lol

But chess is a game of pure skill, move, counter-move, etc. While as poker is technically, a game of chance? It takes skill, yes, but as you said, it's more gut feeling, luck of the draw, etc.

QQ for me , but you do figure it out over time. again its like a gm of chess, theres many factors that go in to it every hand , every time, thats wether your in or out, pay attention!!!, when your more knowlagable to the ongoings of the gm , then you over come and fix your playing, listen to your 1st gut instinct , its way more right than wrong ..any hand can be diffeucult , falls back to knowledge and etc.... again good luck . not against me , he he peace out

QQ plays is a very demanding hand in regular games especially during aggressive play from other players. Your level of knowledge combined with the observation of table actions are essential for making correct choices with this hand.
