there's not much to think about... ajsjajs, I simply prefer AA, even if I lose to a flush or sequence (but with a low percentage of losing).

AA. Especially when you hit the A, then check it, often villian will think you are bluffing and you can cash in.

Of course, I prefer AA, but I often have bad luck with AK.

I prefer AA, but an AK is too good, right? But yesterday was AQ day, it was all over the place. There was even a quad.

I will happily accept both. Been beat on both as much as they've paid out.

Of course AA, because it's a made hand. AK can be a completely worthless hand if no high cards come on the board. But of course AK is also a very strong starting hand.

Anyone who says they prefer AK should seriously stop playing poker. AA all the time.

Initially, it's important to mention that in the past, the premium hands AA and AK were monstrously strong. But poker has evolved, and they're no longer as relevant. If you receive them and go all-in, everyone runs. If you make a 2bb to clear the table, many people call, and before the river, nothing is guaranteed. So understand: Poker isn't obligated to give you a win if you draw with these cards. Know how to play them and even fold if necessary.

That said, AA is better. It has more equity.

I prefer AA, it’s the best starting hand and I always feel confident with it.

AA Made hand 85–90%
AK (suited) Speculative hand 65–67%
AK (offsuited) Speculative hand 60–63%

AA is for sure — nothing compares to it when you see these rockets 🚀. But I understand why some people love AK, it feels great when the flop comes in strongly. The problem is... sometimes AK looks fantastic until you miss everything 😅. I'd still take the aces in my pocket!
