So... 12? I don't understand.

Neither do I, your question.

For A2s vs. KQs (probably the worst case for the Ax hand):

pokenum -h as 2s - ks qs
Holdem Hi: 1712304 enumerated boards
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
As 2s 1007138 58.82 694059 40.53 11107 0.65 0.591
Ks Qs 694059 40.53 1007138 58.82 11107 0.65 0.409

You can run all the scenarios you want here:

Code:

cards     win   %win    lose  %lose   tie  %tie     EV
As 8s  959583  56.04  744615  43.49  8106  0.47  0.563
Kc Qc  744615  43.49  959583  56.04  8106  0.47  0.437

A2s has straights, and different suits lets KQs win if thier flush comes up.

thanks guys, i got into a hgue argument with another player last night over it, he was trying to tell me KQs is an awesome starting hand and i was like its a dog to even AXs and he started telling me how i failed math class etc etc.

thanks again

It is only a good starting hand if you are the original raiser, and not in EP...you cant go around calling huge raises with KQs but I would still rather have it rather then A-rag suited.....

Its value doesn't decrease in multi-way pots and there are more ways to increase. It's a better all-around hand, but worse in an all-in situation.

I would take his stack and tell him he failed Poker school.

Agreed.With King-Queen suited I can hit either my flush,straight,two pair,or even one of my pairs may take the pot down.Ace-X suited I'm playing for one hand:flush and it becomes obvious to the Preflop raiser once he sees my betting pattern.
