what is k-s? just because that range doesn't correspond with some hand chart doesn't make it not true. so i don't care if you think it's "all over the place."

K-S = Karlson-Sklansky. It's a list of hands sorted in order of how large a stack it would be profitable for you to push with with your cards face up if it is folded to you on either the button or the SB, I can't remember. The original poster should note that this is different than what you're looking for in a calling hand against somebody who could be pushing a broad range. AKs is the third highest ranked K-S hand, but the reason that it outperforms QQ in that test is that you'll get called by a lot more hands that are only slightly ahead, as opposed to QQ which will be called more rarely but only when it's a total dog. By contrast, if you're deciding to call against an opponent pushing any two, you'd clearly much rather have QQ than AK, so it's not necessarily a good idea to take these things and try and apply them where they don't belong.
