I am a loser with AA in hand and now I only go all in if my hand is from KK.

You are mathematically correct that anyone who enters allin preflop without AA has a lower chance of winning but for me the most beautiful hand with which to enter is 10 10, and the balance of this pair in my case is more winning compared to AA which often brought me misfortune.

I think this isn't a difficult question to ponder over.
Aces, obviously.
Because best odds.
No opportunity for mind games or playing the board.
The opponent can only call and hope he lucks out.
Doesn't mean it's invincible, just means that if you win with a worse hand against pocket aces, you relied on luck.

If the chips are down enough i will shove with any hand i feel i found some faith in.
if i get plenty chips i try to avoid making such moves or puttin myself in such situations. but calling for it all with ak and other premium hands is ussually a good choice

Usually I do not go all in preflop, because I do not want to destroy my game so early and because like this you play a lottery and it is not a right strategy. I would do it only in a very fast mtt like the hyper turbo, and I would follow my calculations and my intuition!

If you go all-in with a couple of aces you are likely to throw everyone out of the pot and only win the blinds. Going all-in preflop is a marginal move that obeys certain circumstances, but for many it seems that it was the only button they see on the screen.

I am against players who only play all in, I only give all in if I have a very good game on hand.

preferred hand
normally i would say depends on table, tournament and stack!
but think more often AK, AQ is the one i do most since AA or KK is better not to scare people.
one excemption is multihands with 3-4 or more players, i actually prefer like KQ, down to J10/ 10 9 suited. but ok very rare i do all in preflop multihands

the way online poker is the best is pocket AA. but you still can lose and it happens more than often

AK is one of my favorite hands to go all in with preflop. It is a very strong hand but is not a made hand yet like a pair would be and you might need all 5 community cards to make a winning hand with it. Obviously AA and other big pairs are fine to do this with but those hands are already made and I find that I like to get action with those big pairs and play flops with them. AK is a lot trickier to play a flop with than a made big pair I find as well. So all in preflop for me in a lot of spots (not all), if you get called, run 5 cards and see who takes it.
