For sure KK. At first you have higher winning percentage. So you limit him on the 3outer ace or the straight. For the straight you block the king, so you limit his value and the outs. The kk are more hidden. If is there no ace you can win a lots of value. If the Ace came and you have ak the action is sometimes limited. Because the players have a little scary factor because of the ace. Although the opponent can hit also his ace with a lower kicker and catch a second pair. I think its lots of easier to play the kk.

Of course, KK. According to the odds calculator, the odds of KK against AK are around 70-30%.

Of course, it is better to KK, because there is a chance for a set of KKK. A straight through AK or flash, not often happens:icon_king:kh4::kc4::kd4::ks4:

I'll take the KK please. I lose AK more often then KK. If an ace hits the board on
the flop, it's decision time.

Be Well

lets be logic. KK lost to AA only.

AK lost to AA, KK, win just Ax and flips the other part of the rang

than i prefer KK if villan has AA gg until next time.

AK-std is an awesome hand v KK. I'd still take KK over AK-os, especially in a race situation.

KK

KK clearly because at least the pair is assured, Instead an AK you have to wait for a pair of those or a high straight that is very difficult to get, in fact I just lost a tournament with AK of clover against a pair of nine , It is frustrating but sometimes the system gives passive players a good hand so that they go all-in and lose in the case of playing online, that's why I prefer a thousand times a pair greater than or equal to 9 than high cards to go all in, but in case I get AK, I just raise the bet, I don't go all-in unless I have few chips as happened to me a moment ago.

For me, KK is better. It has a slight advantage. AK depends on the table to dominate KK. However, experience has shown me that in both cases they are risky hands to play. Depending on the behavior of the players at the table I prefer to just raise substantially. Now if someone has already pushed All-in the situation changes. You have to consider that the villain has a strong hand. Is it worth paying to see? It will depend on the moment and the type of game being played. Whether it is a tournament, or a cash table.

Hi.
For a week, I decided to collect screenshots of hands in which pocket KK lose.
I managed to capture a couple. According to observations over the past week, KK is more likely to lose, even if the opponent does not have an AK.

Let's watch further:cool:
