Why is King Jack a bad hand?

It’s known as a “trouble” or “trap” hand, because if you flop a pair and get action from another player, you will often be up against a stronger king (such as KQ or AK) held by your opponent. KJo is often fine to play in late position if no one else has raised, but it’s a bad hand to play in early position.

Why is 7/2 the worst poker hand?

7 2 is the worst multiway hand because it is the lowest four gap hand combination that exists in poker. You can’t make straight with 7 2 unless there is a four-straight on board, and your flushes are the lowest also. All of this makes it hit very poorly post-flop. But there are hands that are worse than 7 2 off-suit.

What is a bad hand called in poker?
