Well said Bertrand Grospellier:
Your greatness in poker is not how much you can win the pot, but in the hands that you forced yourself to fold.

AA over KK, too many times A comes out and KK lose to Ax

Well pocket rockets have a greater chance of winning so my choice would be aces. With kk if you run into an ace on the board its all over and there is a chance you run into aces in which case your chance of winning is small. aa you know your winning preflop. You usually need to get lucky to win against aces.

That's not always the missiles lead to victory for the bank.DSC 0174
And there are many such cases. Especially when a lot of players went to the bank

AA I feel better with than KK. Do to the fact many have said someone with Ax calls my KK and A hit flop. Well I will be drawing very thin then.

Of course I would like to have AA more than KK because it wouldn't be the first time that I go all in with AA and win against KK,or lose with KK against AA.

I'm coming to the conclusion that AA and KK are the easiest hand to lose stacks if you do not play correctly. Many players claim that in the long run the most correct move is to go allin preflop with either AA or KK because you have a few percent of the advantage over the opponent. And if you want to increase your chances of winning with AA or KK, what is the best way to play? In my opinion, we should play with caution with the intention to hit a three of a kind on the flop and yes yes to continue with aggression, we must not forget that a pair is the weakest game of poker followed by two pairs. I'm joining the post-flop fold with AA or KK if the board is very compromising. My goal in a tournament be it freeroll or high buyn is to play it correctly and beat all of them. I want to stop binging at poker and being a respected player. I'm tired of losing with AA or KK to mediocre hands. I want more patience and wait my turn to hit good games and to be completely sure that I'm investing stacks in a pot that I'm really going to win.

AA & KK

Em Heads up não vejo diferença a mão KK e AA é muito forte porém em mais apostas 3 ou 4 players na mão o AA pode ficar mais forte do que KK

AA or KK

I have won more online with KK than AA. Playing roughly the same ways.
AA 59%
KK 90%
over 6,000 hands total

Aces!! they could be more desappoiting, but they are more lucrative in the long run :)

Even though it may be more aggravating for you to lose with AA, it is still much better than KK 😊😀

I definitely like AA more than KK. KK is one of those hands I just seem to get unlucky with.

AA is an easier hand to play, wins more often and gets in trouble less often.

I'm not sure how I can add anything different to this discussion, I'll take AA over KK everytime. But, there have been those rare times that my bullets have lost to KK, so, I can understand the frustration when that happens.

Both hands are good. But when you have an AA on your hands, and the opponent has a straight or a flush, it's already much sad

What's the sence, of caurse AA. But if I played against pocket rockets I would rather select the suited connectors.
