56 suited is better than 89 suited because of the 5 in the hand ,which is a blocker to AA hitting a straight the 6 makes it easier for the 56 suited to hit a higher straight,why 66 is better than 88 or 99 I've no idea,kk/qq/JJ/10 10 the worst pairs and some of the worst hands to play against AA all in pre.
Hope ime not derailing the thread,a wee question (without looking it up) What's the Best hand to play against pocket aces all in pre flop? Apart from you also having pocket aces of course.
87s and 76s, where we don't share any suits with the pocket aces (e.g. 87 of spades vs two red aces) are both around 23% to beat pocket aces AIPF. From memory, 87s is better by a couple of hundredths of a percent.
Sharing a suit (e.g. 87 of Hearts vs two red aces) knocks about a percent off, because it makes it slightly harder to make a flush, and we now lose against four of that suit on the board.
If you're interested in hand percentages, I recommend getting Equilab. It's completely free and does % calculations for you. I use it when looking at hand histories after a session to see how much % I have vs my opponent's range and determine whether I made a good/bad call.
However, even if you don't do proper Poker study/Hand History evaluation etc, it's still kinda fun to play around with.
It would be against the T&Cs of pretty much every site to use that while playing to help with decisions, but it's virtually impossible on here without a time bank to do that anyway. The Stars software had a tantrum once because I had it minimised in my taskbar before trying to sit at a table, so sites will know if you did try to use it to help with decisions in game.

Similarly JJ QQ have fewer straight making possibilities than 88 etc.
I like to think we are a bit more sensible these days as to what people can & can't post.
