    Default A-K Whats Better?

    Lets say you raise PF in the CO seat and the button calls and everyone else folds. Would you rather have this board.

    A-x-x No flush or Straight Possibilities
    --OR--
    K-x-x No flush or Straight Possibilities

    Well the question is would you rather spike the Ace or the King TOO GET THE MOST VALUE not nessicarly win the hand. Ive heard alot of mixed reviews.

    For value, I would rather spike the Ace since a lot of people play Ace-any.

    tough question. My first reaction is probably kxx because more people are calling (and not repumping) with KQ, KJ, K10s than with AQ, AJ . I think it's pretty close. I think I go with Axx in the end though for the reasons stated above and because people with KQ on an K high flop can put AA into your range as well as AK whereas on an ace high board they're only worried about AK (ignoring coolers). Not sure if any of this makes sense.
    Family Cruise IMO
