AA or KK: Which Do You Prefer? (edit note: previous title was AK or KK, but original post is AA or KK)

[TCHUCO2005]

At final tables KK is a very strong hand, I prefer it to AK

 

[elchonga]

I prefer KK because it seems to me that even though they have similar profit percentages, it is easier to hide KK than AK

 

[billiamwedge]

If the AK is suited then I like having the playability of drawing to all sorts of good hands therefore allowing me to semibluff, whereas if an ace hits the flop in a 3-bet pot and I don't make a set, I'm feeling really unhappy about my KK.

KK vs Ak

Depends on the game format. In tournament, AK is a good hand, but I have a preference for pocket Kings. Big pockets really help during tournament's late stage.

 

[plusssev]

kk is so much better, that's the hand which do not need catch something.

 

[willjosp]

both hands are very strong but I always prefer par AA but if I get KK I go with all of them equally

 

[CriesuaID]

KK, I even prefer QQ x AK.

 

[_xrolex_90]

KK ofc. AK is a flip hand in most of game situations,so I chose KK.

 

[WellAA]

Kings after all isn`t a made hand in heaven? or hell who knows?

 

[seraxel]

Kings for sure.

 

[iWin210]

AA but I'll get beat my Q8 off

 

[passat1600]

KK - 71.4%....AK - 50,1%.... My choice KK

 

[provenezuela]

I always prefer KK I think it's a much stronger hand than AK

 

[Roller]

Most everyone will choose the obvious AA over the KK.
Typically you will have more opportunities when you're sitting with KK then with AA.

 

[Whaevoz]

I prefer AK unsuited. That way I not only have twice the chance of making a pair of Aces or Kings, but also will be drawing to two different flushes.

 

[ammje]

I prefer the KK.

 

[wagon596]

K/K for me. There is only one preflop hand higher. A/K best you can hope to be in, is a coin flip.

 

[Jim Rivas]

it may seem obvious but... i may disagree with you. i'm less disappointed with kings when they run into any Ax with an A on the board.... i feel like i should know better.


with aces, i feel like i should win.. and when i don't, well...


what about you?

You will not believe me but I prefer AK, I have had bad luck with KK, he always appears on table A and it is the death penalty for your kings.

 

[Juan Oro]

With the bad experiences that I have had with KK I prefer to go for AK

There are more times that I have lost with KK than I have won, playing at pokerstar in micro-limits that most of the players go with everything with Ax

 

[Blaze716]

I'm jinxed with KK. Can only recall a handful of times I've won with it. Seems every time I have it, an A pop on the board without fail. AA I've won with more than lost with so AA for sure. Though last night I did lose an all in call with AA to some idiot who called with 85 off suit and he ended up getting a strait. Its like he knew what the board was gonna be.

 

[valanddon]

AA's all the time, best starting hand.

 

[telespf]

If you can receive a double in your hand. And it’s have more probably of other AK, why you will choice other cards against KK?!

AK you yet need to do a game, you only have a hight card and of possibility of game.

Of corse you have a pair in hands it’s better.

 

[Bnobob]

with the high pairs being in control of the table and the better situation you can control the bets

 

[NightStalker]

Both... But if you have KK, pray not to see an Ace.

 

[damas13251]

KK way better for me
