So you'd rather see 55 than AKs?

Remember, you only hit the flop like 15% of the time

(by hitting the flop I mean open end straight draw that's not the sucker straight draw or a set or quad fives or a pair on the board and a low third card or three of a kind of another card on the flop)

Whereas AKs hits the flop over 40% of the time (flush, flush draw, straight draw, straight, TPTK, aces up, full house, trips, quads, etc.)
