I like pocket aces, but I prefer A:spades:A:clubs:. Black is my favorite color. I also like A:spades:K:spades:. When I'm playing tournaments, I like connectors and one-gappers, especially in late position or if I'm opening the pot in middle position. One of my favorites is 10:clubs:8:clubs:. I don't always play them, but it's a nice way to vary my game, especially if I've been playing tight.

While it's certainly not my favorite hand, KJ (suited or offsuit) is hand that I like to play, at least in limit hold'em. A lot of people have trouble with this hand, but I've actually done pretty well with it.

i have lost so much money with KJ, i try and stay away from it now-a-dayz...but like u said, some people know how to play it, and unfortunately I am not one of them :)

My favorite hand is 6:spades: 7:spades: .

It's made me a total of three straight flushes. One playing HE NL, two playing Omaha PL.

I've only had one straight flush (in holdem)(using both cards) - EVER

I'm pretty sure I typed out a response about a week ago, but apparently it never posted.

Anyway. I don't really keep track of straight flushes any more. Online I've made quite a few, but think I only have two screen-shots of royal flushes, one with both cards. Playing live, I've certainly seen less of both, but I've made one royal - and folded a royal possibility that turned into one (but it was still a good fold - overbet in front of me with a player with a made hand behind).

Overall, they're nice to have, but they're just not memorable - especially playing Hold 'Em, either limit or no-limit. In Omaha you have a chance to make something, but they don't generally pay off in Hold 'Em.
