Preflop always a pair

Preflop always TT, but postflop TT can become a very fragile hand

Would really depend on my position, stack, if in tourney or cash and who i'm playing against. Would go back and forth depending on those factors. Sitting down cold and being on the button? Always take the pair.
You're right! Everything was clearly stated ! I completely agree with you! )

I’m going with the pair 99% of the time! I’ve lost so many hands with AK KQ AJ etc to a pair of freaking 8s!

Without any additional scenario I go with T's, however KQ is an excellent hand too

KQ performs mega badly on coinflips, so TT without much wonder.

Defenitelly i choose TT. When i play KQ and sometimes raise that card there almost always appear an ace in the flop and ruin my game.​

Of course my pick is a TT. It is against AK (not suited) 57.37% / 42.34%

I definitely choose KQ in any situation.
The question is essentially, 6 outs vs a pair, & a pair that's hard to counterfeit at that? so let's do the math, 6/31 = .19, roughly 20% but not even vs 80% of cards that won't make a difference + 2 cards pushing % down to .17% *This is not card odds but just cards in the deck that'd help
Your card odds would be a flip more or less 56 vs 43 but even with an open ender on the flop (Adding 8 outs to 6 pairs giving us a total of 14 outs) We're only 24% with 2 cards to go
You can guess which one I'm picking :D

Hi there

if a have TT its a hand that i open or 3-bet to a open in any position. if i have KQoff i fold to a open and open in late position and just calling to a 3-bet to my open. if a have KQs its a hand i will open in any position and calling 3-bets and just calling opens. so i go with TT.

I'm on a sick losing streak with TT and it has busted me out of some tournaments. KQ plays much better for me. I never go broke with KQ.

It is situational for me. I really like both, but I feel like TT is good or bad, there is not much room to make a play. KQ can be very versatile.

it depends on the situation.
For example it's better to 4bet bluff with KQo and call to a 3bet with TT.
In single raised pots KQ gives you more options postflop and you dominate more villain hands.
But in all situations overall TT is slightly better as it's a made hand.
Overall you can't just clear answer to that question. Like always. It depends.

It all depends on the situation and position of the table, generally the pairs are strong cards but that pair of 10 are playable if not you risk your place in the tournament or the amount of chips to bet :D
