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.

There is about a 3% diff between suited and unsuited. Against all those hands, KQs is actually = to AJoLast edited by Beavis68; 08-12-2005 at 02:36 PM.

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