certainly prefer the ak suites have many outs to win although they may not go but I think it is a good all in. I always go all in with AA, KK or AK. QQ depends on where I'm at the table
Well technically according to Sklansky hand range AKs is the better hand but QQ has more equity & is 54% fave vs AKs to win.... but either way for SSS there both premium hands!

Queens is miles better than AK. Dunno who Sklansky is but I wouldnt trust his advice if he says AK is better that queens . The only thing AK has goin for it is it reduces the possibility of someone having AA or KK, but that's it.

Against an aggressive player it is a no brainer all-in with both holdings. Against a supernit both will run into problems. Both have compareable equity.

I hate AK! I prefer QQ. I have lost so many times with AK for a low pair, I can't even count them anymore. I guess I prefer any pocket pair instead of AK

QQ since its favourite to win. A lot of people tend to overplay it though. I did when i first started. Any A or K on flop in a multiway 3 or 4 handed, having QQ is bad.. still i gotta learn to fold them..

I don't understand why people just love asking this kind of questions. Maybe it's worth spending 10 mins on poker theory to know what to do in such cases. QQ is better no doubt. Though you still must call with AK doesn't matter if it's suited or not.
Have to say I prefer a made hand over a drawing hand, but A-K suited is a good pushing hand as well. This post is kinda like comparing 2 apples, which do u prefer......green or red.
K 
Q
