which hand is most likely to crack AA?



bonus prizes* if you can explain in why it is more likely to win than other similar hands


-----EDIT----

there is no previous action or any action to come, simply all in preflop. If villain has AA and you can choose a hand, which would have the best equity?



* - there are no prizes

    67 or 78 suited if we are talking AA v a random hand with no poker action, just on the maths.

    In actual play the deeper we get then we're look at TT+ winning a 20/80 or a suited ace hitting trips, flush or straights.  Unless you're up against a maniac.  The deeper we get in play the stronger the ranges are.

    In say a MTT setting AA will get cracked a bit by a good 3bet jam range.

    I'm guessing 10-J suited, reason up and down straights, flush and of course 2 pair a set opportunities. lot of ways to improve.

    Hi Tommy, 

    I do just mean all in pre, purely on the maths - there are no range considerations or previouis action.


    and no, its not 67 or 78 :)

    nope...JTs is actually quite a bit down the list, behind Tommy's suggestion of 67s or 78s

    A hand such as 68 suited, if you hit two pair or hit a straight you opponenet is unlikely to believe you and will get there chips in the middle, where as if you have a hand such as KQ suited and hit 2 pair its easier for your opponent to get of the hand

    ...better than JTs, but not as good as 6s7s and not as good as the best hand obv

    I clarified the question in my OP...

    It's either Q9 suited, or 34 suited.

    Can't quite figure out which one though.

    I'd go with 98s as AA blocks some of the straights 9Ts+ can make.

    If not that then I'd guess at any pocket pair 66 to 99 as AA blocks straights that can be made with pairs 22 to 55 and TT to KK. The pair would have be diffent suits to the aces, ie two red nines vs two black aces.
