I got out of the habit of having a favorite hand a while back.......it makes you play undisciplined. What I mean is like, say your favorite hand is something like Q10s......now, normally if you are out of position and there are, let's just say 2 raises and 2 callers ahead of you, you would normally fold this easily......but since it's your "favorite" hand, you most likely will call and lose a lot in the end, because you will likely try to catch something with it because in your mind, your "favorite" hand has some sort of special power against all others.....whereas if you'd folded as you should, you'd not have cost yourself so much.

Just my two cents... I know everyone doesn't play their "favorite" hand in this manner, but I've found most people do and will.
