AA or KK: Which Do You Prefer? (edit note: previous title was AK or KK, but original post is AA or KK)

[dbchristy]

KK. I just think I get over zealous with it, So, I do better with AK. Im more careful

 

[ringworm]

Not At All Obvious.
With KK, you hope that AA or AK or straight won't beat you too...

Well, AA is the only hand you're worried about since you're the favorite over every other hand out there.

Well, AA is the only hand you're worried about since you're the favorite over every other hand out there.

The point is that you need to be wary of a wider range of hands. Such as AA, AK, and even QJ. All of them have a great potential to beat the KK.
As one of the participants of the topic under discussion correctly noted, with the KK, there is a high probability of collecting full house on the river.
I try to play both of these hands carefully, after watching the flop. Exceptions are when the stack is less than 20 BB.:icon_bigs

the obvious answer would be kk however when i have kk for same reason an ace almost always appears on the board. so for that reason i like ak suited more because i have blockers on both aces and kings and is a very strong hand postflop when you connect a pair or better on the board. if i wasnt so unlucky when getting dealt kings i will choose them over ak thats for sure!

 

[Elfina777]

I prefer KK, because I think that this card is stronger, here you already have a pair and in another combination the second ace still needs to be caught, although it drives many crazy if he has pocket AKs, they immediately go with this card to all-in and often lose.

 

[pribalt49]

I think that both combinations are good, it all depends on luck, because even with card 27 you can win, although they say that these 27 are the worst pocket cards, and according to the KK logic, of course, they are stronger.

KK is one of my favorite hands, a very good starting hand for taking chips away from others i love it when i get the KK

 

[0546474]

Are you asking if I like to win or lose ??? Of course, the answer is obvious, I like to win more)))

 

[Mityamoriss]

I prefer Kings,it is more satisfying hand to play.

 

[diego farfan]

depending on the position but I prefer KK in a medium position since in this position AK loses strength

 

[Argylegreg]

Prefer the certainty of KK, but if you're going to keep dealing me A,K I'll take it
Generally though it depends on so many factors....and of course there is always the derivative of A,K suited!

 

[Sschafell]

KK for sure!

 

[Raphael Zabel]

Both are very strong hands that practically nobody would discard them. Pre-flop I prefer KK but depending on the situation and board AKs you are more likely to connect.

 

[CKALLDAY]

I’ve stated in the past that AK is my favourite hand but KK is my...

final answer

 

[TaigaMaster]

stupid question, of course КК!

 

[Comboss599]

I definetelly prefer KK.!!!​

 

[antonis32123]

I choose KK , but then again so many are the times , when in crucial spots and deep I have lost with QQ or KK to AK or even worse , to A rag rubbish hands .....

 

[ObiwanJ]

If im shoving preflop KKs but if I'm playing to see the flop AK as cheaply as possible.

 

[Snake2007]

I prefer KK

 

[ItsThePits]

KK

 

[molokheia]

rgds

 

[Liedust]

Allways a pair allways a pair.....

 

[funnyhook3]

AK Useless hand

 

[speper]

Something in the hand is better than ten in fiction . If you choose KK and allways a pair

 

[Ronaldo7]

KK... It is much easier to play after flop, and have much more chance to being you bigger pots
