I kinda screwed it up. I thought it said check to the one most likely to be true. I dont know why I thought this, but subconsciously, thats what I told myself. So actually I was one out of one because again I though you could only check one box. Also again, I really dont know why I thought this.

I voted for "6s 5s will beat Kd Qh more often than Qd 8h" as being the most likely to be true because KQ and Q8 share the queen so it would give the player with Q8 less outs, but 65 has two different cards that could be paired plus they're connecters.

You had me doubting myself, for a while, on this one Walker...the difference is in making straights:

AK..can make AKQJT and KQJT9

AQ..can make AKQJT, KQJT9 and also QJT98

That's the advantage of AQ over AK

No Cheezy..3s 3c and Ks Kc are going independtly against Ad Ah...therefore either one would beat Ad Ah with a club or spade flush.

Because when going against a pair, you want as many outs as possible, in this case with AdQd you can make a Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Two Full House, a Flush, three straights(8,9,10,J,Q) and (10,J,Q,K,A) and (9,10,J,Q,K), then you got two threee of a kind possibilities, then you got Two Pair Possiblities, if two high pairs that 4's come up you are going to win the kicker, you can get two pair A,A,Q,Q, or a single pair A,A or Q,Q.

With AdKd you can make : a Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Two Full House, a Flush. Two Straights, (9,10,J,Q,K) AND (10,J,Q,K,A), then you got two threee of a kind possibilities, then you got Two Pair Possiblities, if two high pairs that 4's come up you are going to win the kicker, you can get two pair A,A,K,K, or a single pair A,A or K,K.

So the Only Difference between these hands possible outcomes are :

AQ -> Has -> 3 straight Opportunities
AK -> Has -> 2 straight Opportunites

Therefore : AdQd beats 4s4c more often than AdKd
