I rather go with KQ, two broadways, high percentage of pairing on the flop and also being connectors makes for the chance of having a drawing hand, if suited has the higher potential for catching a flush draw or straight flush draw in comparison with the A10 suited. So, gimme KQ

In preflop I like hand A 10 more.

Thank you for reply.

Which cards of poker you would help more in the pre-flop? A,10 OR K,Q?

I believe you asked about pre-flop?? Well, A 10 is the better hand pre-flop?? An A is higher than a K, pretty straight-forward. Depending on the game and the situation, KQ if suited does play well post-flop

I think what you are really saying is that KQ is a "favorite" hand. When people have some belief that a certain hand is lucky, and that is fine if you have those beliefs. When people ask me about favorite hand?? I say that is easy Pocket AA's haha

KQ (can be affair) seems to me more solid, to enter with AT I must consult the behavior of other players and my position.

I will take the A10, especially if it is suited.

A 10 all day long!!I don't seem to get any luck with two face cards lol several times I called a shove with two face cards late on in tourney n it's always a pocket pair n my card don't come or A 6 or something similer that goes on to win by high card. I no longer call all in shoves with 2 face cards but I would A 10

A 10 is statically the better hand. That's what I'd go for

Both are good for the steal or heads-up and for nothing more. Both are easily dominated and hard to play postflop. I would like to take the binds with such hands not being called.
p.s. Although have to admit AT has even more hands to be dominated by and hands against you are in very bad shape: AJ,AQ,AK,TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA. With KQ however you must be scared only of: AK,AQ,QQ,KK,AA, not bad chances against AJ, AT 40% to 60% about and have even coin flip against JJ & TT. So considering that, if you compare those two hands, KQ looks better although it has only 40% against any Ace.. The problem with KQ is that many donks play any Ace-rag to hit the ace on a river. But as i said at the beginning, for me it's good hands for steal or resteal or heads-up play. For postflop play, especially without position they are too weak.

KQ, certainly. AT has quite weak kicker if the ace hits ad so there is possibility to lose notable amount of chips. With KQ its much more safe, unless, of course, an ace hits the board. It also doesnt take a hero to fold KQ if nothing hits.

I put both these hands about even. They're but are dangerous but can be played for a profit at the right table.

I prefer A / 10

Funny fact I had seen this topic before and playing today witnessed two K / Q knocking down exactly A / 10

AT, assuming both are suited and or os. Either way Im picking AT, if it goes to show down Ace high beats king high. And you can not have a straight without a ten or a five so you have backdoor chances plus the blocker to said KQ

K, Q for sure because even if you pair then 10s then there is still a jack, queen and king that can beat you. with Ace, ten you have to pair the Aces to win.

I prefer the one that gives me the nuts! Overall, why wouldn't you want ace high oppose to king high?

against 1 or 2 opponents I would prefer AT having more players in the KQ can call all-in ;)

T's not the kicker of what is to come still in the game :(
