I will choose TT, I think TT is much stronger than KQ.

In my opinion, TT is more worth than KQ. I am very careful with KQ, especially in longhand no limit cash games. In early position I generally fold KQ as this hand cannot be played profitably out of position. In a later position I try to have the initiative with KQ through an open raise. This makes it easier for me to play with KQ. With KQ you can easily be dominated. If your opponent has an ace, you're already behind. In TT there are only a few hands that clearly dominate you (JJ +).

An intelligent question. If you look at the outs, KQ has 6 outs, giving odds of 7/1 while the 10s have only 2 outs, giving odds of 23/1. That's why in the long run KQ will most often win.

The probability of winning KQ is about 64% -62%, provided that the opponent's cards are not known, and the probability of winning TT is about 75%.
Both hands are interesting, but TT is more promising.

You're overlooking the fact that 10,10 doesn't need to hit in order to have a made hand...

Look at the table of the percentage of winnings of two cards. The pocket pair always has a higher percentage of the win.

I think that KQ is not so good in critical situations, so I would prefer 1010 because it is already a srtong hand!

please think about what you are saying.

this is like saying you would rather have 5 * $1 bills instead of a 1 * 10 bill because you 5 bills is more than 1 bill.

I prefer 10 10 as I can play it like a premium pair and lose all my money.

Well it will depend a lot on the position I am in .... I particularly like the pair of "10 10" from late position .... I will definitely play it .... and the KQs hand is fantastic .. .. and in the same way, I would first take into consideration the position in which I find myself

I think both of these options have about the same chances. But nevertheless I am more inclined to choose TT.

I choose TT. KQ is likely to lose to the weak kicker A.

well, I like both plays, it depends on the time of the tournament and the type of it. For example, if it is with a reward, I prefer 10-10
