Re: AK vs A5 anomaly?
Does it bother anyone that the opponent could not have had a flush on the flop based on the information given by the post?

So here's a problem - you know that your opponent has AKo. You can choose any 2 unpaired, unsuited, cards to oppose it. What cards do you choose? [/ QUOTE ] I choose another AKo.

The only thing you need to consider is the straight possibility. Two consecutive cards that don't reach AK offer the most chances, I'd think. I'd go with 67.

Re: AK vs A5 anomaly?
A5 is the highest Ace-high combination that has two cards that can make part of a straight, excluding AT-AK...but AT, AJ, and AQ all require a K in order to make a straight under the same conditions. Thus AT-AQ are all inferior to AK because in the event of a straight the best they can do is chop, whereas A5 wins if it makes its straight against AK. A6-A9 are inferior to A5 because there is no straight possibility.
