Hello friends. I would very much like to know on your poker journey how you did with aces and kings. What is the percentage of winning or losing. Grace.

Very small sample size. 11,562 total hands played in 6-max cash games.

AA when VPIP = 88% win (54 hands, 47 wins, 6 losses, 1 split)
Went to showdown = 75% win (22 hands, 16 wins, 5 losses, 1 split)
Raised or called all in preflop and went to showdown = 75% win (6 hands, 4 wins, 1 loss, 1 split)

KK when VPIP = 88% win (64 hands, 56 wins, 8 losses)
Went to showdown = 81% win (16 hands, 13 wins, 3 losses)
Raised or called all in preflop and went to showdown = 100% win (2 hands, 2 wins, 0 losses)

AA and KK stand for so much of the win-rate that it's scary.

And people complain when they get outdrawn.

If AA isn't first followed by KK at about half the win-rate of AA - people play them horribly.

Yes, they're definitely my 2 biggest winners so far.

Just having a look, I'm up 2812 BB.

AA has netted 1218 BB or 22.55 BB every time I'm dealt it
KK is +751.5 BB or 11.74 BB every time I see it

Between them they've been worth 70% of all profit so far.

All in NL2.

This is poker and I, like any other player, have different situations, there were wins and losses. All I can say about hands like AA or KK is that they are strong hands and I am willing to take risks with those hands.

I don't really know the percentage of winning. But I sure have profit with these hands.

I don't know what the percentage of wins with AA and KK should be, but there is often a law of meanness and failure. Yesterday in the CC tournament I went AA all in as I had 6 BB and I was on BB, it seemed like perfect timing, only 1 player with 35 BB from A6 folded against me, that seemed to be it, doubling the stack. But the law of meanness played out so that a 6 came out on the flop and then another on the river.

you can safely check this download your hands from the poker site where you play in the poker site settings, you can save your hands and then check how much you lose with these hands through programs. Usually, it's very difficult to lose with AA KK your victories will be about 80% with these hands and 20% losers
