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

[daniel411]

AA but KK i although dont throw away pre flop

 

[Xambo]

AA is better than KK. But you can improvise better with KK.

 

[Tomo_Tomagio]

For me personally, unequivocally AA without debate

 

[livyst123]

I only prefer KK if I know there is KK on the Flop .
Other than that AA is my baby always and forever.

 

[ritz_avalanche]

Aa is my fav

 

[WHAKAORIORI]

If I were to win the wsop with one or the other it’ll be KK

 

[monkey23]

is this a trick question..??

KK. Favorite pair of cards. As I noticed, two aces usually win 50% of the time. This pair is usually reassuring, but poker rooms usually issue this pair to get the player out of the game. Checked on pokerstars

 

[suitedsadness]

Obviously Aces are far better. I don't think I need to explain why...

 

[steve01991]

i will take AA over KK everyday of the week

 

[peaceofcoke]

What a smart question, I like neither, I prefer 38o, with it I am invincible. I came to this conclusion applying your logic to my game, and guess what? Im on fire.

 

[Kenorgcom]

What do you like better, AA or KK?

I like AA better because, the hand is the most powerful hand, and if you’re dealt it you know you’re in control.

 

[xpvictor1]

I prefer AA although it is easier to get away from KK if you need to.

 

[betang]

AA for sure

AK! ... But between those 2, it's not even a contest man! AA all day! Anyone who says KK is playing poker with the wrong mindset!

Why AK is better for me....

If u have AA or KK, you are hoping to hit on at least another one of the 2 remaining cards respectively, for a 3 of a kind. Likely you don't hit and have top pair, but you could easily lose to 2 pair, for instance. In the event another pair pops up and you think you have 2 pair, you're now at risk of falling in the trap of a 3 of a kind somewhere on the table.

With AK, your odds are better at hitting many of the top combinations, not to mention when it's suited. Hellz to tha yeah!

So yeah..... AK ... is King!?

My subjective opinion is that players with monster hands are hostages of the situation. If an ace comes on the flop, there are probably many players who can fold a pocket pair from jack to king. But on a dry board with no clear straight or flush, few will fold an overpair just because things are getting too steep. I lost today with a pair of aces. The truth is that everything was decided preflop with an all-in and not on my initiative. The guy showed a pair of tens and got his set on the river. The paradox is that even knowing the full layout of the cards, I did not find a way with which I could save my stack. Before the river, the situation was in my favor. I consider all-in with a pair of kings to be a profitable tactic, provided that you are sure that you will be answered.

 

[Nicolasd07]

After a while of playing, I stay with KK

 

[kristersb123]

Always taking AA lol, is this even a question to be honest? If you have a stronger hand then you have bigger chance to win obviously, feeling that you lose with aces often is in your head, maybe you misplay your aces allowing a lot of players get in the pot and they get the right price to outflop you.

 

[tamara822]

I definitely prefer to get AA. But I don't complain even when I get KK. Any winning combination suits me.

 

[danoscar]

Hello. Either is a great hand. I like yo see the flop and go from there.

 

[tigervball]

Hahaha. Love em both, but always like the better hand more!

 

[stank12345]

Duh AA best,I can not count how many times i have lost to ace when I had kings

 

[mervin88]

AA definitely why would I choose the 2nd best one over the first one, I'm not a fool

 

[donpiatnik]

AA of course...

the question is unnecessary

 

[CallmeFloppy]

I prefer AA. It is just statistically a better hand.
