Well, I'm quite sure of that ... of course KK. Well, while it's only the second largest pair, it's obviously much better compared to AK. If it comes to an all-in situation preflop and the opponent holds AK, he only has the 3 remaining aces in the deck as outs - every further king helps me and is bad for him. So I take the 2 remaining kings as outs and he practically only plays with one card in his hand. :)

most of my victories were with AK and most of the defeats were KK. even the QQ ladies brought me more victories than KK, particularly I don’t trust JJ and KK

KK is way cooler. AK you could more easily lose value for most flops. KK you probably still have highest pair if no A on flop. But I would take AK suited sometimes.

two good hands

AK or KK? I prefer KK.
the preference is KK as long as the table keeps me winning and don't bring an A on the river kkkkkk because there is no point in catching kk and the guy comes and wins with two pair if you say the A who already wins and comes three straight and a flush there is a day that I catch KK and I'm unlucky the guy takes 22 and wins with court

really

really KK seems to bring a lot of luck to the players I've already gone all-in preflop with KK several times and not all of them I win the times I even lose to 22

KK always. In low stakes people always pay with weak aces and if doesn't hit wich a lot of times won't you win big

As with everything, it is the context that will determine the preference. Late in a tourney a made hand is always preferable, earlier on with multiple active players in a pot, AK may be better to counter the schooling effect.

I prefer KK more than AK. After all, KK is a ready pair, and AK is just the two highest cards, but this does not mean at all that an ace or a king will fall on the board. Therefore, KK is undoubtedly better than AK
