"One of them doesn't have ace high or a pair?'

no. one of them have ace high or the pair most of the time, but that's not the point. A6o is not a better hand than KQs. neither is 33.

what i said was he has the best starting hand. like if you use sklansky's little hand groupings. KQs is gonna be the +EV favorite too often to not just cap here against their wide range of hands. see?

These aren't the same thing. KQs is a "better hand" than axo, but if you're both showdown committed axo is a smallish money favorite.

"if you're both showdown committed"

obviously youre not showdown committed with KQ in a 7 handed game 3 handed pot. but A high in the hands of a bad player oftentimes is, thus adding even more value to hero's KQs.

Are you guys saying you'd rather hold 33 or Axo than KQs in this spot?
