AK vs QQ

[tabaskichhh]

What exactly will you choose? And from whose hands do you have an unpleasant memory?

 

[Mario7]

QQ roughly 56% vs AK 44%, so for me, the answer is easy.
Memories - no, not really, playing mostly online I was at both sides many times, with different results. Nothing really to consider, obviosuly the variance works.
Oh well, I could mention, with these cards, if I am deep stacked 150+BB I prefer to see the flop than go all in pre.

For me, everything is situational and based on final memory. There are days when QQ, for example, doesn't lose, and sometimes you get scared when you see them.

As I've often said, if you hold the queens heads-up, the other player will hit an ace on the river.

If on other other hand you hold AK, expect a 5 rag board.

Two good hands, right? But I'd choose the AK. QQ is very unlucky, he even loses to 23o.

I prefer the Queens here. It is an easy decision for me I'd rather have the made hand. Heads up I'd take 55 over AK so Queens would be an insta call.

I’d still lean toward QQ preflop, but AK always feels tempting.
As for bad memories, probably with AK. It looks strong, but when it misses the flop, it can get pretty frustrating.

somehow that's how it works, you watch someone's video and they always hit the board

Well, in poker, mathematics works over distance, it's just residual memory.

It's all a matter of preference, I always feel confident with AK Suite.

yes, if AK doesn't hit, it's a very vulnerable hand

I’d go with QQ it’s a made hand and performs better against most ranges.

 

[anbu210]

I’d choose QQ most of the time.

It’s already a made hand and usually ahead of hands like AK or JJ preflop.
AK is strong, but it still needs to connect with the board to become a pair.

That said, it also depends on the situation — stack sizes, position, and tournament stage matter.

But in a simple preflop choice, QQ is generally the stronger hand.

 

[Silversurfer99]

AK always wins...

Hello everyone, the truth is that it is a little complicated decision, but the decision you make must be taken as being the right one, that simple, if you fold or if you pay for it or if you go there, depending on what part of the tournament you are in, it will be a decision in which you will always give points to think together, to improve together, analyze and in the fun part of the game, that in the scenarios How many times they are will never be the same as each other.

Well, mathematically you're right, but who likes which one?

Most of the times I've played QQ x AK (Villain), I've won.
I like QQ than AK.

We all know the math, but poker is also about feel.
