MCU poker tip: Are kings almost as profitable as aces
-
By Mike Caro | Exit

Kings are nowhere near as profitable as aces in hold ‘em. Although the difference is much slighter between smaller adjacent pairs, such as eights and sevens. There’s a very large gap between aces and kings in terms of profit when played correctly.
Averaging all situations together, figure aces to be worth about 40 percent more than kings.




Why Mike? Why?
Well you figure an ace flops 17% of the time you don’t have one. Either you lose or its hard to make a decent profit. I almost would guess 40% is on the slightly low side.
