I'm interested in everybody's view on this one. This isn't the same as Midas' post. I don't want to see the hands you've won with. I want to see the hands you think you should win with.

To make the decisions a little easier, I've decided to make groups of three.

How do yours compare. There's no right or wrong answers, it's all just opinions. I'm interested in yours.

AA, KK, QQ
JJ, TT, AKs
99, AQs, AKo
AJs, KQs, 88
ATs, AQo, KJs
AJo, KQo, QJs
KTs, A9s, 77
QTs, JTs, ATo
KJo, A8s, K9s
A7s, QJo, KTo
66, A6s, A5s
Q9s, T9s, QTo
J9s, A4s, JTo
A3s, A2s, 98s
87s, 76s, 55
44, 33, 22


If you don't feel comfortable doing your own list, feel free to comment on mine.

K7s, K8s, Q8s, A7o, A8o, A9o, I add, replacing 22-44, 67s, and 78s.
Of course situation at the table changes the list a lot. Although I think that in general A70 is way stronger than 22, I will fold A7 with action in front in a lot of cases where I would limp the 5 hands I would replace from your list.

K7s, K8s hmmmmmm.... interesting.
I tend to take the route of hands that stand little chance of being dominated and are most likely always live.

You make a good point about the Ahi hands too. I like your style.

I suppose the question is :which hands you'd most like to see in your hand.

I'm really not very concerned about domination when I'm looking at hands at the bottom of this list. Top 50 hands is pretty close to a CO blind steal range, though I would add at least 10-15 hands for that purpose (33 and 22 still not in it). What I am looking for is hands that hold up well against 1 or 2 other random hands. Even a hand like K6s here isn't dominated often enough by 3 random hands to be too concerned about it. Get the button to fold, and flopping a pair of 6s will turn a profit.
