KK of course. Blocks Kx including AK and it is the favorite against it.

Hello. In a MTT, I have most luck with aces in early position, but favor kings for late position. Overall win% AA takes the prize by 8%..

In cash games, I had much better win% with kings in all positions than aces. KK with an average 92% and AA averaging 72% wins.

hands played in cash games 5,930.
Hands played in MTTs 53,894

KK all day long, besides the fact that it’s a ready made hand, I have lost on AK so many times it’s unreal, I have lost with KK but nowhere near as much as AK:D

I prefer KK at a distance I will win more often both on the preflop and on the postflop

I totally agree... I seem to be very unlucky with AK.

I prefer KK by far. You already have a pair, so I think that it is a better hand.

KK any and every day of the week.
AK is just a hand hoping it hits the flop which it will only do 30% of the time. Two over cards on an unhit flop will just drag you along to turns and rivers where you end up losing too many times to mid to bottom pairs that just refuse to fold to river bets lol

I prefer to have AK, because it's one less ace that someone can have to beat me with.

Obviously KK. With AK you're hoping to hit a pair of Aces or Kings, but with KK, you're already there.

In a cash game I would prefer KK. In the tourney, I'd easily go allin preflop with both. Depends on some situation I'd raise or call allin with AK suited on a cash game too. (regarding the position). But more like won't 4/5 bet in regular spots in a cash game.

I prefer KK because I won many times with it and of course there is a bigger possibility of getting three of a kind or a full house when you have a pair like that.

I will go all in with KK all day on the other hand AK takes a little more time to think about. But most the time I am going all in with it as well especially if the same suit.
