AK off suit i think are the best hole cards pre flop simply because of the higher card the QK even tho suited wud b the underdog and having to hit

More exciting with KQ suited

emk211 · Jan 24, 2021

Heads up it is even, I believe, but either or, AK as a starting hand is a better hand because of the A, but I have folded both at certain times.

emk211 · Jan 24, 2021

Unless your OP has the A 10 suited and the flop comes flushed, then you are screwed.

Well obviously but you could say that for any 2 cards

AKo over KQs, for sure. Here is why:

AKo crushes KQs 1v1: 70.42% equity vs 29.58% equity
Against any 2 cards, AKo has 65.32% equity, while KQs has 63.40%
It's 3 times more likely to be dealt AKo than KQs
AKo: 12 ways ( A:spade:K:heart:, A:spade:K:diamond:, A:spade:K:club:, A:heart:K:spade:, A:heart:K:diamond:, A:heart:K:club:, A:diamond:K:spade:, A:diamond:K:heart:, A:diamond:K:club:, A:club:K:spade:, A:club:K:heart:, A:club:K:diamond: )
KQs: 4 ways ( K:spade:Q:spade:, K:heart:Q:heart:, K:diamond:Q:diamond:, K:club:Q:club: )
AKo is a top 4-6% hand, while KQs is a top 6-8% (rank varies depending on number of opponents)
Against a top 15% hand, AKo has 60.14% equity, while KQs has only 45.64%

Well, AK has the better odds of winning pre-flop, so I would go with that.

Belgiumburnley · Jan 25, 2021

I hate AK because I seem to miss the flop so often so KQ for me !

maroca06 · Feb 2, 2021

I prefer king and queen of the same suit.

Brunokeskara · Feb 2, 2021

JQ our 10Q

for me I prefer 10Q or JQ I have more game with them

0546474 · Feb 3, 2021

AK has more chances to win, so my choice is obvious !!!

Flower2211 · Feb 3, 2021

Naturally, I choose AKo. They are much stronger than suited KQ, because their suited does not equalize Queen with Ace in strength.

Well Enuff · Feb 3, 2021

AK off suit over KQs any day.

I certainly like to play against opponents who would prefer weaker hands based on some superstition or bad luck experience.

PackinPat · Feb 3, 2021

AK off. you are ahead. KQ suited can still be beat with your Ace high flush

MAGICUZ · Feb 3, 2021

AK of course

leifen · Feb 3, 2021

PLay with the odds.. AK anytime

Daen27 · Feb 3, 2021

Suited AK often fall to me but they don't play at all like KQ such suited hands rarely play

Maiuchi · Feb 3, 2021

I prefer KQ of the same suit, I think it gives me more option to improve the game post flop at least it is my preference beyond statistics or that a priori is a weaker game than ak

Lieutenant_OH7 · Feb 3, 2021

Obviously AKo, as Kenny Rogers said "Every hand's a winner & every hand's a loser", but suited cards tend to fool, usually less skilled players..
Cuz they LOOK good/better, but considering the small odds of catching a flush, they aren't much better...

danoscar · Feb 3, 2021

Hello. More outs with the KQs.

AKo for me

Not only is this simply the better of the two hands statistically speaking, but I also like the fact that if none of us hit our cards, then my kicker is better

+1 Same thinking here too

Math for my opinion calculated for me

I like the Kenny Rogers, The Gambler reference. The song lyrics are correct as well; "every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser" because AK (suited or not) is still just Ace-high if it misses. Again though, I'd rather miss with AKo than KQs because in this scenario, my Ace-kicker is best

colino17 · Feb 4, 2021

I would prefer the AK. KQs likely has a better ceiling (flush), but it is going to take more luck to win, whereas you will likely be leading in any flop with an A or K with the AK.
