Unluckiest premium hand?

Ain’t no such thing as an “unlucky” premium hand in poker, pilgrim. Luck comes and goes like the wind, always changing. The cards a man is dealt won’t determine whether he’s lucky or not. What matters most is how he plays ‘em.

That said, if I had to pick a premium hand that gives me the shakes, it’d be pocket Queens. Big, fat, pretty Queens...and just laughably weak. Seem strong as an ox, but have the legs of a newborn fawn. Every man and his dog wants to raise on ya, the flop always pairs up against ya, and straights and flushes catch ya by surprise.

Queens look grand in the pocket, but they’re soft as sucks at the table. Stylish hands, sure, but not built for winning. While Jacks and Kings fight, and Aces lead the charge, those Queens only gather dust. So keep your premium Queens close, and watch other folks win the pot! Unlucky’s got nothing to do with it.
 
There seems to be a perception of bad luck associated with this specific hand, as some players have mentioned losing more often than winning when holding pocket jacks. Furthermore, some players have changed how they approach pocket jacks.
