9 flops. Done
10 eyes for an eye. 10 teeth for a tooth. 10 bucks for a buck?! Hit the bad guys where it hurts the most: the face and the wallet.

Isn't K2 better than A6? Fewer straights beat you, and it's easier for his paired card to get counterfeited, and you win when 2 pair or 4OAK hit the board, and if you make a straight it can't get counterfeited.
The way that the question was worded, I suspect that AKo is correct but I am too lazy to do the math; also I don't care.

A6o and A9o are not even close.
I would choose to run it 100K times against K2o.

Wow, I forgot about K2o for equity dominance, man, I'm off today. But keep in mind you only have one-buyin to start with according to the OP, so when you lose the first flip, you lose the bet. Playing AKo lets you have a near "freeroll". You'll only lose that first hand 2.17% of the time vs. 20.76% for K2o.
