Obviously I prefer AA. I lose sometimes, but AKs on several occasions we are just flipping.

I prefer AA because it's a pair of hands and this already gives me some security AK doesn't because it's not guaranteed that we will get something right

Is is impossible to prefer AK to AA. AK is only Ace high while AA is the top hand in poker. No choice, unless
you like losing.

AA all day—it's the nuts. AK is strong but still a drawing hand, while AA is almost always a favorite preflop.

That's not a real question . AA of course and font even ask about it . I don't know the exact odds of AKs to win against AA , for sure it's not better hand than AA .

Lately, AK has been bringing me more happiness and profits than AA

Hey there,
what a strange question. I'm glad I've gotten into the habit of not being too fixated on these starting hands and their outcomes. Instead, I prefer to focus intensively on expectations and my own best possible path. This leads to more positive energy and seperates from the crowd.

Definitely AA - nothing feels better than starting with the best hand in poker. AK is strong too, but it still needs the right flop, while AA is powerful from the start.

I just like AKs over AA
AA and AK are not equal. But if you were to compare AK vs. QQ, it would sound better.
Of course, if the flop is KKK or 10 J Q, then AK is a good option.

I actually prefer AK. Sure, AA is the best starting hand preflop, but AK has that exciting, dynamic potential it can make the nuts, it plays well in position, and it gives you more room to outplay opponents after the flop.
With AA, you’re mostly protecting your hand; with AK, you’re building it.
Plus, there’s nothing like seeing that ace or king hit the board and knowing you connected big.

AA for sure. Seems like I never get aces tho compared to every other pair
