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

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

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 :cool:

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.
