They are basically the same hand. You aren't getting paid off with your flush because you need Qxs to call your pre-flop bet and hit the flush. How often is that going to happen?

But people love to call PF raises with suited connectors, suited 1-gappers and many love any 2 suited. At the nl25-50, a flush is a flush to them.

True, but do you stack people often enough with flush over flushes to warrant calling turn bets with implied odds? I really have no idea. I think Axs works a lot better because many villains will play Kxs and pay you off.

I don't think the major strength of AKs comes from actually hitting flushes (although it helps). I think it picks up a lot of strength because having TPTK with a flush or back-door flush possiblity puts you in situations where you can play your hand more aggresively to pick up pots, but not lose as much value when you are called.

Flush draws and runner runner flush draws bail me out all the time... there is no way that AKo=AKs.

No way 24-1 against bails you out all the time. Period.
