threw this into calc to see how they fair up:
here are the results...
AK suited 49.7% as oppose to pocket 2s 49.6% tie is approx 0.63%
AK off 46.6% as oppose to pocket 2s 52.7% tie is approx 0.58%
also ak suited vs ak unsuited 7.16% vs 2.17% tie approx 90%
personally i'd prefer AK suited also. you know if you have the 22 the ace/ king is gonna hit on the river π ππ
of course if you have the 22 and i have AA your bound to hit that deuce :mad::mad:π

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]And this is why these pocket pair vs. 2 over cards situations are called a coin flip. . .
My own preference would lean towards the AKo because before the flop comes I have 6 outs to beat his pocket pair while he has only 2 outs to have me pretty much drawing dead -- discounting possibilities of connecting to flush & straight draws on the board. Yeah, you've gone into the flop behind & the odds of catching one of the overs pretty much still suck, but you're gonna be hoping the coin lands the way you've called it. . .

would take that over the 2s. preflop
but after preflop i would porbally wished for the poket 2s.
interresting as i have beatin big slick before with poket 2s and 3s:1orglaugh
but i think preflop surly the big slick
Well ak suited is a far a better hadn than poket 2s

I like the 22's over Ak. I don't want to depend on the flop to make my hand.
Is funny how we see the hands, AKs VS 22 is pretty much a coin flip, but if i am shorstack in a full table and i am waiting to push, probably push AKs with out think much, but 22 will cost me to decide to push.
I think the pockets would have better odds in a heads up.

you didnt mention if it was an all-in situation
if I am ahead in chips (the 22)
I would probably raise w/ em, depending on the stack difference
behind in chips
I wouldnt play em if I was looking at a all-in & was my tourney life
-I hate gettin counterfeited -
(I've been counterfeited w/jacks before- so thats always on my mind)
but would wanna see a cheap flop
even in chips
I wouldnt put a whole lotta faith in em

I dont want the 22
unless I have the chip lead
I take the AKs
with a S-stack
Oops, I guess you did mention all in

Gimme the deuces I like to try and win with small pairs and have hands hold up rather than try to catch.
I think the pockets would have better odds in a heads up.
Let's face it. The ducks have to be your choice. Your all in, its heads up and you have a pair. Any pair heads up is great. The A/K is a drawing hand. Its a good drawing hand but it has the same odds as 3/4, 7/8 or any other drawing hand in this situation. The 2's are ahead and anytime I can get my chips in the middle with the best hand, I'll take it.
Either way, I have to say that, as many have said, I would actually prefer the 2s in a HU situation like this... I know it is a coin flip (the 2s being slightly favored) but still having a 'hand' versus having a couple of high cards seems slightly better to me. So many people refer to starting cards as a 'hand' but really they are just that, starting CARDS. After all, one in the hand is worth two in the bush! :thumbsup
Besides, in my own experience, small pairs almost always treat me better than Big Slick! LOL
OF COURSE, if this were not a HU situation my appreciation of the 2s will get reduced as the number of players in the pot increases, but I guess that kind of goes without saying. In a situation with more players a lot more comes into play, like other players styles and position.
Is this a tourney or cash situation? Also, if cash, do I have more in my account or am I foolishly playing with my whole wad?

#1, whos aggressing? the guy with the ak? if this is the case than you can put him on any pocket pair better than twos threes or fives etc. in which case twos are practically drawing dead.
#2, Ok, you have 22 vs the guys ak suited or off, doesnt matter really,
Anyway, the board comes 334. Looks good so far for deuces right? yea well not really, now the ak can hit an a or a king or a four, say the turn comes 7, now he's got aces kings fours and sevens to beat your twos.
In another scenario you hit your two on the flop, flop comes ak2, or aa2, you can see the train wreck coming here.
I guess, in summary.
imho, ak pwns 22 on the regular
I will take the AK any day......Anything can still happen with AK. First you can hit and ace or king.....you could end up having a straight draw....and if two pair show up on the board....the pot is yours. Not saying I wouldn't call with a 22....I may....but I would rather AK
