Whats the worst hand (pre-flop) in Texas Holdem?
The worst hand to be dealt pre-flop is 2 and 7 offsuit. This is because you have no straight or flush draw. And if you pair up, you will most likely not have the best hand. If you are on the full blind and you get this hand, it is referred to as “the big blind special.” This may be one of the only times you should play this hand (given that nobody raises). You might get incredibly lucky and hit trips (three of a kind), two pair, a full house, etc. It also may be OK to play these when you are on the half blind as long as there are no raises and the full blind is a small amount of money compared to your stack. It is good to be unpredictable once in a while.
