AK vs KQ which do you prefer?

[Mikeisanace777]

Poker is a theoretical differential game.

AK vs QK sucks in nl you don't want that!! In low limit maybe you can gamble on it and don't care much because it's just a few bets. QK vs what you guess to be 9-10 could be very substantial as a drawing and 2 pair nightmare for 9-10 with a few different flops. Like Q-J-9 good flop for his hand but if it blanks out you win and you have TP leverage. With 9-10-2 he flops what looks great but loses to a J turn or river giving you the nuts so you want this theoretical match up in a light pot.

QK-vs AK only spells nightmares when the pot is big enough and your committed. Flops like q-10-4 might induce gamble from ace king to broadway and he can still win with a river ace. Conversely Q-6-4 you wont get any action or more money from him and he may just fold.The worst situation is K-7-4 it looks great your calling him down to blanks and he shows you AK it's just a bad situation 90% of the time unless you flop 2 pair however even then he might not be adept to this and call down rivering a better 2-P. In other words Q-K vs A-K is no better than 5-6 of suit. You can flop 3-4-9 with it and bet out to ace king he will fold! Do the same with 5-6-K he will call you but has outs to counterfeit and win outright it's no different.

AK without a doubt.

 

[tauri103]

AK of course more luck with this hand.

 

[Eric Salvador]

AK is my pick without a doubt. It doesn't have to hit to win you just have to make sure they don't have a made hand.

 

[VMVarga]

I think preferring KQ to AK would qualify as superstition.

 

[devisam]

always prefer AK.

 

[MolonAA]

AK dominates, we have always learned to avoid playing with hand that can be dominated with KQ.

 

[Tuan]

I would prefer AK over KQ for one reason; AK dominate KQ and win out right 75%. Plus with AK I am more confident calling off an All In; with KQ it is always a muck for me.

 

[texasliz]

KQ my Ak :ciao: get bust easy
lol

 

[nezo24]

I'm more lucky in J10 or 10 9 than with KD

 

[bstest]

AK is the power house, you need one of the same on the flop to be a leader. Play it like you mean it preflop to chase out the lucky limpers, with the assumption that you'll be up against a weaker Ace or find yourself in a race with a mid pair. KQ is fine from late position, and I tend to play it. An Ace on the board will freeze you out, but as you said a surprise straight could bring you some heavy chips.

 

[fernandovr]

AK for sure, Imagine a flop turning K .. disaster for KQ rsrs

 

[pauloandre100]

AK is always better than KQ. With AK you dominate all Ax.

 

[Shooter74]

AK, off course!! For me AK is a premium hand!! KQ not...

 

[jmateuspoker]

AK x KQ

Pre flop for me always the AK will be better than KQ

This game is very strong and may rather lose but the possibility is remote

what we need is to play more cautiously AK

[Malnitruth]

I mean what if it's KQ of hearts and you r on bigblind...

 

[julianjjboy]

Just AK, cos it block A and K, all hands running with AK are not good, except AA,KK

 

[Tatomircg]

AK is more favored than KQ because it has the over card ace,but i prefer the KQ because it has more outs than the AK because AK to me just like A4 or under can only have 4 outs for the open end which makes it no better than a gut shot.

for me...they are both as strong...i prefer both,AK sometimes has no value

 

[estefanetti]

AK please .... is more efective than KQ
I think this is an easy question
No one would prefer KQ than AK

 

[dlam]

KQ with a AJ10 flop. Cause if there’s a family pot there always 1-2 players that hit that flop.

 

[GordyPoker]

I think I understand what you mean - you mean KQ may play better as it has a few options more options to it before you see flop

But AK vs KQ I take AK every time

 

[FerC182]

I prefer KQ, because in most of the hands that you participate the opponent has a great chance of having It also means that he already eliminates 1 out of his but in odds AK is in the front so each one makes the poker of your liking

 

[makisaa]

AK is stronger than KQ. Also AK brings more victories.
If you are in a sirious and difficult contition most of the times you will invest on AK. Simply!

 

[Joco413]

AK. No question. Just because KQ has a slighty more potential to make a straight with it that doesn't make up for how much the A dominates the Q.

Heck a non-suited AK is still better than a suited KQ imo.

 

[bidearm]

I would definitely take AK
