Default is KK more profitable than AA?

I remember reading a while back that some posters were more profitable with KK than AA. This is true for me so far. What are the possible explanations?

Small sample size. That's about it.

variance, dumb luck, etc... Make this claim after playing each hand 500 times.

You live in bizzaro world where kings are aces and aces are kings. Other than that your sample size is too small.

After how many hands do you expect individual hand values to converge?

I don't think my most profitable hands fell into the correct order (AA, KK, QQ , JJ) until about 20k hands.

In all honesty - it could be a small sample size, it could also be a leak for you with how you play AA.

Are you holding onto AA for 3 bets when there is a 3-straight 2-flush on the board and none of it helps you?

what about a paired board with lots of action?

People find it easier to get rid of KK than AA.

Just something to think about.

Obviously AA > KK. But in this case it should be especially clear, since AA wins significantly more than any other holding, since it dominates all one pair hands.

For me:

AA (113) 2.9 BB/100
KK (102) 1.9 BB/100
