I think I would stick with the K10. Although the 8s are a lot to come on the flop. What do you think?

pair 88

I prefer before the flop to have a pair in hand since we can hit a three of a kind or poker :eek:

I also have the impression that KT is better than 88. I always believe that the higher cards give me more chances to win the hand that is in play.

Hand 88 has slight mathematical advantage so i prefer it compared to K10.

Both are borderline cards, but I prefer the 8,8 pair (until I see a K or 10 on the table :rolleyes: ).

I always prefer to have a pair going into the flop. So I would say 88.

Hi.
There are different cards on the flop, including eights and kings and tens. But I would prefer pocket eights. I think this is a more promising option.
Good luck.

Even if it's an AK there is a chance that none of them will make a pair, so I would stick with that pair of 88 so you can make a lot of things like a tric, a full house, poker, straight, it's much better to play it passively.

Is this K10 vs 88 only or are you asking against different ranges? If it's K10 vs 88, I pick 88. If it's vs ranges, then I pick 88 unless against super tight ranges like 1010+, AK.

I like the snowmen (88) better :) However, KT has more post-flop playability. Post flop, KT also has more outs to improve - the pocket pair can basically just catch another 8 and there are only two of those unaccounted for.

I'll still take 88 though; "much" better All-In power when short-stacked shoving too :D

Asking pockets vs over pairs which is the better is not a big idea, as you can see, you 'll have the same 54.5% - 45.5% to start with.

My idea is to put these cards into actions, positions, and it will be more interesting to see how others range can be described.

K 10, 8 8 are not very lucky cards for me.

I personally like the pair of 8’s over K10 always better to have a guaranteed pair.
