What hand gives you more confidence when it comes to an all in? If you could choose between AK off suit and 22 ... After having been on both sides many but many times, I have seen statistics and the odds laugh in my face several times. What is your choice between these two and why?:)

I would choose AK all-in because the card is the highest with a kicker and very often it is an ace or king on such a turn or river, and on pair 22 you need to wait for the set to match - because the pair is the smallest and many cards interrupt it

Hi, the all CC community! My personal playing experience on the today shows, that any pair,
especially 2-2, in percent relationship on a bit, but ahead, than AK not suited...
But this is only my experience. I think, everyone has everything individually...:rolleyes:

The most important question is, do you go all in without seeing the flop? Well, then it's roulette, or do you have no more chips and it's hopelessness? If from hopelessness the AK ,

Well i think its easier to go all in with AK than with 22, but odds say 22 are still better.

I am not going all in with AK or 22, because I would lose either way. Is this a trick question ?

I'm more impressed with AK, 22 although it has an advantage in the showdown (judging by the poker calculator)! At the opening 22 of any card the opponent might beat you,but the AK is hard to beat,just a horrible bad luck can prevent that not infrequently it happens!

I prefer the AK choise, because I have an ace and a king. The 22 is a couple, but it is very week. You must expect another 2 for something safe.

low pairs are set mining hands or low stacked all ins....

with 22 v Ak you are hoping that you don't get hit with an ace a king or the board doesn't two pair naturally....that's a lot to dodge...

I’d take the AK. It’s a game off odds and sometimes you’ve just got to take a chance.

I rarely have a win with hand 22. Often there is a set over or high pairs and few outs. only 4 and the AK hand is the most reductive in this case although it is poker here everything may not be the same as in mathematics and how else you yourself play your hand not on the card, but on psychology
better AK and 22 only AA[emoji106][emoji123][emoji121][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

If I knew the player has gone all in with an Ace, I would go with 2,2.

If I knew the player has AK, I would need to have 2x the stack to call with 2,2.

Off course AK (all the time) beats QJ. ))

I would choose AK. With this hand I would feel more confidentthan with 22. Even two pairs on the board kill all the odds of 22. And only 2 outs to strengthen the deuces. :ah4::kc4:

I would take 22 if we were playing heads up other than that I would take AK at all other times.

depends on the scenario.

Deep stacked in a MTT or cash game, give me AK of course

Short stacked on the verge of being knocked out and shoving all in? I'll take whatever wins me the hand, of course, lmao hahaha...ship me the 22

like joe Stapleton always says, "one of these hands has a slight mathematical advantage"
