Re: A lesson in kickers
[ QUOTE ]
I will make you a deal. We will both sit with 10k at a game of 1/2. Each street of every hand must be capped. 12 bets will go in from each of us on every hand. I get A2 every hand, you get KQ every hand. We play until one of us is broke.

I don't get what you're trying to accomplish by arguing this Pax. The fact is KQ has two strong kickers, and A2 has only one. This is exemplified by the hand values assigned by OP. In no way does OP claim that KQ has an edge over A2.
Others are claiming that KQ is better than A2 in a HU match, more specifically in imperfect information situations, essentially because it "plays better." I agree. And one very important reason that it "plays better" is that it can make two strong pairs with strong kickers, while A2 can make no strong pairs with strong kickers.
