In a tough, or at least aggressive, game a flopped pair of aces or kings from the blinds, with a weak kicker, is much stronger than tens jacks or queens. For instance:
T5 from the BB on a T23 flop in a tough game
vs.
K5 from the BB on a K27 flop in a tough game.
The K5 is significantly stronger, not just because of the likelihood that kings will stay top pair (obvious) but because in a tough or aggressive game most players will raise their good aces and kings (AK, AQ, KQ) and fold their bad ones, while they are much more likely to have limped in with tens jacks and queens (T9, TJ, QT, QJ).
