Hey, just wanted which hand other people thought was best in this matchup!

I like QQ personally, you will always have a pair, you are slightly favored mathematically, and you can flop a huge hand with a set or quads more often.

AK is a drawing hand imo, what are other's thoughts?


I like QQ better than AK because we already have a hand made.

Like you said, AK is still just a draw until you hit the A or the K.

With QQ you don't have to flop anything, you already are very strong so I would want to have QQ over AK any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Ak in good for 4bet jam, QQ is good for flips allin.

Two are good, big strong hands.

I like AK - all in and see what happens.

QQ more carefully, there might be an ace coming, and somebody is sitting with an ace.

of course I love these cards, but when I see them I have a little fear, because it could be a double-edged sword, it can save like that can make you lose

I like QQ with q peak more, of course I have a little chance to win QQ, but it's not always nice to see a river!

Never liked AK. I'd take 22 over AK. Reason being it's a pair. AK is pretty to look at but is nothing unless you get lucky and hit. Ask most players what's the preflop hand you have went out of tourneys with the most and I'll put money on it is AK.

I would prefer QQ, you have pocket pair and you can beat anything except A K

AK is better hand for me.If i hit the flop there is a small percentage that i am beaten and i will literally blow you of the table,if i don't hit the flop i have enough power to bluff you away from the table or to hit the turn or river.

All-in, they are both very good hands. AK does great against all hand types, dominating the other Ax hands and having around 50% against other pairs. It still has as much as 30% against KK, but a huge dog against AA.

QQ on the other hand, will be a huge favorite against other paired hands (beside KK/AA), and dominate all unpaired hands except AK. Ax or Kx hands have around 30% equity against this hand.


After the flop, having QQ it is pretty simple to know if the flop is suitable to continue betting. Dry flop w/no overcards you will be well ahead the majority of the time.

With AK, hitting an A or K will put you ahead in most situations, but you will miss a lot of the time and be left with some difficult decisions.

For this reason, I prefer to have QQ over AK.

AK without question.

It's troubling for me to decide though, because I do like the notion of having a pair to start :)

Come on, poker is among several things a mental game with a lot of strategies and MATH involved. You can't ignore the math in it even if you are just slightly ahead (which it is not this case), you are still ahead! QQ all day! GL!

I prefer AK. Lots of different ways to play
QQ is a bit tricker for me to play post flop
