Kings on this as you have a chance of flush draw, but my chips have been all in before the flop with either of those hands!!

I voted for aces because if the Kings don't hit, I would have the pot won. A bird in the hand and all that...........

14 outs make the Kings slight favourites to win, but if It was me staring at that table I'd rather be holding the Aces.

kings have 14 outs? and aces have the rest of the deck

I,d go with K K coz theres a flush and str8 draw.

If I had the A A and K K went all in I would be tempted to call but probably fold coz of the flush draw. (the A isn't suited)

I know nothing about how many outs i had, but defo know when i'm ahead

14 out draw is favourite if we get everything in here, so kings

9 clubs, 4 tens, 2 kings... 15 cards If thats right..

If its a full ring then..

10x2=20(hole cards)

3 burn cards

5 community cards...

52-28=24

so 15 cards to hit out of 24 remaining cards.....

even tho I never go all-in and I'm behind, i would vote Kings...But then again I like the aces cos the kings do have to hit..

Tower, you can't discount burn cards and other players' hole cards... all unknowns have to be included. Otherwise you might as well just say it depends on the two remaining cards to come and then you'd have a 100% certainty on the outcome.
