    Default KQ vs AJ

    bboys thread about KQ in the SB made me think. I used to hate KQ because it seemed that people would always call me with Ax, but Ax is only a slight favorite.

    Playing the turbos I have really had to be an all-in specialist.

    I decided to run some number on KQ and AJ.

    vs a completely random hand, both hands are about a 62% favorite.

    vs AA-55, AKs-ATs, KQs-KJs, AKo-AJo, KQo-KJo what I condsider a reasonable range of hands to call a short stack all-in, or for short stacks to push with, AJ is about 45% and KQ is about 42%. Pretty damn close, I was surpised.

    Most insightful post of the month award. Thanks Beavis.

    What are you using to calculate these?

    I really like KQs and want to see how that stacks up.

    Pokerstove.

    There is about a 3% diff between suited and unsuited. Against all those hands, KQs is actually = to AJo

    It's not the KQ that annoys me as much as it is the Ace that always appears on the flop.............
