because of the ability to set

and when you have KQ you can get in trouble against AQ / AK when you

hit your K or Q

I definitely choose KQ in any situation.
Anyway I keep kq 10 10 it can always be very trampled.

It depends on what purpose. For all-in on preflop, I will choose TT. I will also try to assemble a TTT set. Well, KQ on the situation

I'd prefer TT heads up, KQs against more than one opponent, that's just me though.

Depending on stack size, if it's a tournament I'll happily jam with either hand.

In lower stakes tournaments 10, 10 seems to do better. Too many people play the hand and will match a lower pair and beat the KQ. Even AK will lose to 10,10 often.

Depends on the poker room, but in most cases 10 10 have a great chance of winning.

100% depends on the situation.

There are certain spots where these hands are both terrible to play.

But in general, I prefer medium pairs in HA pots and multiway because KQ quite often is dominated. In other words, you lose more chips when hitting a pair with KQ as it is very often a top pair compared to TT.

Another spot where I'd rather have TT would be a 3-bet pot. You basically have a made hand, and on any flop, it is very easy to navigate with this hand. You're either way ahead or way behind. With KQ you heavily rely on flopping big draws or pairs with backdoor possibilities.

So I'll pick TT over KQ any day, even though they're pretty close.

10, 10 is 16.8% to win.
K, Q off is 14.4%
Most players tend to overplay their favorite hand and underplay the other. The results should be about the same but will vary depending on your attitude.

Definitely TT, after AA is the best hand to go all in, we'll see a set 50% of the time, and the other 50%, it will hold the win with a single pair.

KQ or TT

TT all day long, KQ has to hit whereas TT probably would win 65% over time on a all in call.

KQ or 10 10?




10-10 primarily because it's already made. Without referring to the charts, I imagine that vis a vis, 10-10 is going to win 60% of the time. Quite honestly I need to devote more time to studying but for me personally, I am never opening with KQ in early position suited or not. However, I am likely to show strength with 10-10 in early position with no action ahead of me early in a tournament. Is that super nitty? I can see myself jamming the 10-10 from early position when short stacked but I'm likely to fold the KQ and try to wait for a stronger hand in that spot.

I, for example, have lost a lot more with TT than with KQ suited or not. I'm not biased though and both are playable. However, I would not in a million years, unless very short stacked and in the money without any alternative, take either allin preflop. But I will call a 3-bet. If I have to push, I will happily push both just as much or fold if necessary. Multi-way I think TT holds better as others usually have high cards and they diminish each others chances of hitting the board in any way.

Both are somewhat equal in equity but I prefer to shove when I had 20bb with 10 10 instead of KQs.

in my opinion TT is better than KQ. TT is more likely to win the flip

I like KQ more, firstly, I prefer to go coin flip with overcards, secondly, KQ has more chances of getting a straight

TT is more likely to get a full house or four of a kind.
