Reply To: Favorite Masechta

akuperma:

Technically, you’re correct. All masechtos of Mishnayos are included in Talmud Bavli. But colloquially, masechta in talmud bavli could more simmply mean Gemara.

By favorite, I meant which is most to your liking; which pulls you most.

Also it is widely accepted that the Amora’im did not have access to Pirkei Avos.
