I prefer KK to AK, because I have a better chance of winning, the percentage is much higher than if I have AK.

And when I get KK I prefer to be aggressive, so if I lose everything to an AA, the suffering is less.
Because you increase with each move and discover that you lose at River ...
So the pain is greater.

Depends on what’s to prefer

KK obviously has AK crushed as far as stats, but as I think about it, it’s almost a tie for my preference.
KK is such a powerful hand, I probably do t get as aggressive to get value from it, which has a higher risk of my being heartbroken if I let someone hit their Ace or trips
AK, on the other hand- I make aggressive bets or raises, given coin flip in many cases, to 1. Narrow the field to ( hopefully) just two players, or 2. Get them to fold altogether and be glad to take down the chips.

Thus, when I do win with AK, I usually end up winning much more than AK

In summary, it’s a toss up for me between having a damn good chance at raking the chips with a some amount on chips, or often a coin flip to win a huge amount of chips.

I prefer KK. I really lost a lot of hands with AK, and usually in a ridiculous way.:D

I prefer KK for sure, because its more easy to play, this hand from every position, and I prefer to open, this hand with 2.5BB, but if someone will make raise I prefer to 3BB with a little huge bet 5BB or 6BB its depends of situation.

AK is safer. Depends on stack and blinds. U can drag someone or just fold. KK is mega but on some surcumstamces u can't play aggro. Even if flop is playable

I can't believe you don't raise with AK before flop.
I just busted AKs vs KK in the tournament. Too hard, and there was no need to play that high.
