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 😁 😉😉

of course if you have the 22 and i have AA your bound to hit that deuce :mad::mad:😄

[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. . .

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

unless I have the chip lead

with a S-stack

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.
