The thing is, what it is now means nothing. Even though an open-ended straight flush draw on the flop is just x high, it's still a favorite with 2 cards to come and I'd want all my money in with it. Made, unmade, it's all a matter of perspective. Preflop, 22 is a favorite over AK. 22 is a made hand and AK is not. Please don't try to tell me you'd rather be all-in against an unknown (not random, just unknown as in any game) hand with 22 than AK. AK is a slight dog to pocket pairs 22-QQ, dominated by KK and AA, but a favorite against every other hand. A-x is also usually a lot more common for people to call with, the range of hands AK dominates. Obviously position matters, if you're calling a 4-bet with AK you're a moron, but played here, I'd call AK running into AA a cooler, he can't get away from AK in this situation, and I'd love to see that hand if I were in his situation. Sure I'd prefer QQ-AA but we're just over 10 BBs, and this is our perfect chance to move in and if we do get a call have most likely either a coin flip or be a big favorite to double up. Just ran into one of the 2 hands where we're worse than a coin flip.
