JTs obviously. Best odds to crack the aces with a little over 20%.

I read somewhere that the best hand against AA is 56s. This gives you the probability of both a flush and a straight, which doesn't require an Ace.

Jack ten suited definently. 7 2 is absolute garbage, KK and 99 are just way behind only 2 cards are a save.

JTs - this is a chance, at least the best chance from this list that you offer us :)

I would hope that the king will be on the table with my KK at hand.

JTs give me a better chance to win in that situation not that I am happy in this situation.

Only 3 viable options? How about J 9, 10 9, 9 8, 7 6, etc... Suited of course. Q 9 can be an aces cracker as well.

liked the comment from 56s, I think this is a good option to try to win against two aces 🤣

I would choose 99 against AA if the opponent has AA but the chances would be 20 percent I think it'll be hard against AA to win, you need a lot of luck so I'll just hope for a miracle and that's it, but losing against AA is not so ashamed to lose and forget it happens in poker

I've done well over the years with both 99 and 72os......76su isn't a terrible choice. My favorite suited connecters to play.

So idk I guess if I really hate/dislike villain I take 72os just because I'm that guy lol. That suck-out is way sweeter against a guy you dislike. Voted 72os we hate this villain lol. Not you OP lol.

If I don't feel one-way or the other about the guy or we're friendly towards each other 99 it is. Come to think of it I haven't tripped up in awhile with 99 so I'm due I guess.

Cheers!!!

Definitely J10s or hands of 78s 56s 109s. These cards have pretty good chances against aces and I have won with them more than once.

We must remember that there are 4 AA in the deck. So I wouldn't mind AA.

Well... it'll be nice to win with a 72. So I'll go with 72, of course! Let my AA opponent who loses with my 72 smash his monitor with anger! And I'll smile modestly, like this smiley face :) .

I’ll take the J10s and hope that one of his AA isn’t the suit I need.
