K10 or 88?

[fullclock]

I think I would stick with the K10. Although the 8s are a lot to come on the flop. What do you think?

 

[willjosp]

pair 88

I prefer before the flop to have a pair in hand since we can hit a three of a kind or poker

 

[fernandofcp]

I also have the impression that KT is better than 88. I always believe that the higher cards give me more chances to win the hand that is in play.

Equilab says:
88 vs KTo 54,5% : 45,5%

Opition

K, 10 .....

Hand 88 has slight mathematical advantage so i prefer it compared to K10.

 

[ADRI7HO]

Both are borderline cards, but I prefer the 8,8 pair (until I see a K or 10 on the table ).

 

[webseoteam]

I would choose a pair of 8-8

hello

I lean towards the pair of 88 because KT is a very glassy hand or confusing !! regards

 

[angelamsmith05]

I always prefer to have a pair going into the flop. So I would say 88.

 

[LadderingUp]

Its hard to make a pair. Ill start with one.

88. K10 suited in position is playable...

Hi.
There are different cards on the flop, including eights and kings and tens. But I would prefer pocket eights. I think this is a more promising option.
Good luck.

Even if it's an AK there is a chance that none of them will make a pair, so I would stick with that pair of 88 so you can make a lot of things like a tric, a full house, poker, straight, it's much better to play it passively.

Is this K10 vs 88 only or are you asking against different ranges? If it's K10 vs 88, I pick 88. If it's vs ranges, then I pick 88 unless against super tight ranges like 1010+, AK.

I like the snowmen (88) better However, KT has more post-flop playability. Post flop, KT also has more outs to improve - the pocket pair can basically just catch another 8 and there are only two of those unaccounted for.

I'll still take 88 though; "much" better All-In power when short-stacked shoving too

 

[dallam]

Asking pockets vs over pairs which is the better is not a big idea, as you can see, you 'll have the same 54.5% - 45.5% to start with.

My idea is to put these cards into actions, positions, and it will be more interesting to see how others range can be described.

 

[bugiardops]

If I have an 88 I will never let go lol

 

[alabos]

choose 8-8 because you sure to have pair but not sure too win.......but k-10 is good hand

 

[tamara822]

K 10, 8 8 are not very lucky cards for me.

 

[ntf1125]

88 > KT...

 

[orchidra]

I'd much prefer to have 88 over KT.

 

[Steve Deeble]

I personally like the pair of 8’s over K10 always better to have a guaranteed pair.

 

[slicheri93]

K10 does way better than 88 2 over cards tent to hit them usually so 6 outs againts 2 basically and a few straight combos can be hit

so i would take 10K always they do much better overal

88 i think even 2 2 is better than k 10
