Can someone explain to me why KOD is much more dirtier than QQ for example?? *Without providing examples lol

[Fildy]

cause it is. Without examples that is all anyone can give you. Its a rule. Why is 12 inches a foot? Cause it is.

[Reel Deal]

Number of hands that have KK crushed = 1 (number of ways to make AA = 6)

Number of hands that flip with KK = zero

Number of hands that have QQ crushed = 2 (number of ways to make AA or KK = 12)

Number of hands that flip with QQ = 1 (number of ways to make big slick = 16)

So, there's only 6 ways to make a hand that crushes KK, while there's 12 ways to make a hand that crushes QQ plus 16 more ways to make a hand that flips with QQ. So, basically you're looking at 6 vs. 28 hands to "worry" about. Thus, getting KK cracked is that much "dirtier" than having QQ cracked.

I have been told by you all about the Kiss of Death, nice to see the examples here. I still love my KK though and just hit quads with them yesterday. I suppose one of these days I will eventually get steam rolled by something. I will be extra careful from now on with them
