I do not like both of these cards !!! it is very difficult to choose because the chances of winning are equally bad, but still I play with such cards from late position !!!

I prefer lower ranked suited-connectors such as 87s and even 1-gappers like 75s because not only can they make straights and two pairs, but your more savvy opponents may become wary of your postflop play when the board is full of small cards. Furthermore, these kinds of hands are great in the early stages of MTTs to bust out weak players who are too committed with their weak hands or overpair.

Qs 10s

They haven't been playing well recently, mostly because the only major tourny I've won is from going big on Q-10 three times in a row with them hitting hard each time. Otherwise it's probably dumb.

I prefer small pairs, something like 55, 77 and so on. If you catch the flop, this hand can be very dangerious and hard to read for your opponents.
Also i like suited connectors, something like 910 suited. This hand can also be very good.

K8s is oddly one of my weird hands that iv'e had success with.
I don't really like either hand in a larger scope of things, but K8s for me is the clear choice.

Sure 8k suited.

Playable in many positions and defintely worth the flop.

Maybe not that good PostFlop, if u hit nothing, but still worth a try.

Hands are exponentially less likely to make a straight as they become separated

I like the plus 6 percent you get suited with K8 and your blockage of AK , and KQ hands which have you dominated

that being said, tread carefully with different flop textures

K8 simply because it’s suited.

Looks like Ks8s is the winner.

Ks8s is 58% versus a random hand pre, but 40% versus a decent range.
Jd9h is 53% versus a random hand pre, but 33% versus a decent range.

It plays very well when I call a 3 bet with it.

It's also my highest earning cards after AA and AK.

I prefer any connectors from 67s and above as well as over pairs
Further play postflop on the analysis of the table and information on the players

if you choose between those cards that you suggested, I will choose K8s because a suited hand has a lot more equity both preflop and postflop

:qh4: :kh4: because you obviously have lots of odds, plus a royal couple is a royal couple, and their designs are not bad either, although that depends on the deck

I think it depends on the game you are playing too. If I was deep in a tournament and had a small stack with big blinds. I may want to have a king instead of suited connected.
But if I was playing in a cash game, I would prefer to play smaller suited connectors.

I prefer the hand AA because i can go all in with it or make a big raise.
And if my opponents calls i'm very pretty confident that i will win.
I prefer this hand because it's the best hand in poker.

If i had to choose between those 2 hands , i'd choose K8, because it's suited. AA never lucky cards in my hands. Seems like KQh are best hand for me, because i always get lucky with this hand on the flop.
