I know, advantage 67% is on the side of AKo but which starting hand you personally prefer more AKo or AQ suited?

I don't like the combination of AK. Too often failed me.

May I ask why you have this difference in AKo live, and AQs online?

I like the combination of AQ. You can collect a lot of good hands), but AK is also a very strong card)

I prefer that map where the older kicker is. Many times, I was let down by a weak kicker.

I haven't had too much luck online with AK either. It's only strong if it hits!! Hard to call an all-in with AK preflop for me.

I would prefer an AKo vs AQs. Because even though they are not suited at least they are two higher connected value cards.

Why wouldnt you pick AKo, the favorite, here?

Picking AQs makes no sense. It being suited doesn't increase is equity that much. It's still a huge underdog to AKo.

AKo is a better hand. I don't know what else to say. AK is a hand which I dislike in some ways because it looks like a monster but when you get it in you are often flipping, but it is still clearly a better hand.

I personally would always prefer AKo strictly because it's statistically better. As pretty as suited hands are it just won't win as often as AK

In my opinion, these hands are about equal, they come to me equally surprising number of times. But with AK feel much more confident, especially in tournaments where players like to go All in. Simply made the call on their All in
