Really standard spot
say you get suited 78 and then off suit akq, pretty standard play says put 78 in back, a in middle, q in front. my question is related to where the king should go. i generally put it in the middle, because if i get a king, i don't have to be too concerned with pairing it with sometimes only having 3 outs from the aces. however, i know that the middle can improve other than just a single pair to make kings not foul up top. my issue there is of course that your middle hand can't beat your bottom, where the cards aren't too high. anyone have thoughts on this spot?

Mid, all day. Else too top heavy.
Q
K7
A8
Actually I think I like
QK
A
78
this way you have more shots of getting the big pair up top, and you can also pass on placing the Q or K if your bottom two rows are looking lackluster (too many dead outs) while still having the prospect of placing later on in the round (i.e. you pass the queen initially but might still get a shot with a king later on).
