which plays better All In

Which hand plays better in a 3 way All In, in a very... very loose game where people will call All Ins with pocket 3's and K,10 suited? A,K off suit or Q,Q?

You are the last caller everyone has about 18 big blinds left. Is there one of hand with which you want to avoid this situation? Should you welcome it in either situation? Does it really matter that much if you call or fold in the long run? Would it be wise to wait for a better situation to come along?

I generally try not to get all my chips in blind, especially with AK or any unpaired hand.

Out of the hands you gave to choose from I would go for QQ but if I had a choice I would try avoid the all in preflop.

QQ is just about 50/50 with AK and I don't like coin flips.

this is a tough choice between AK and QQ

it depends how u feel

ive noticed you can lay down QQ sometimes but its tough to lay down AK....

Simple-QQ. It has more expected value than AKo.

AK is, or should be, a rather easy hand to get away from post flop, one of those win big lose small, hands.

QQ, because it is only behind against AA or KK and has any other pair dominated. You may have to just dodge an ace or with a 3 way allin and ace and a king which would make you close to 50% to win a 3 way allin.

QQ in that case..., hoping that the others have an Ace each... and therefore only 2 outs left...

either AK or QQ...you can't go wrong with one of those
