Message: [QUOTE="feitr, post: 1154965, member: 34106"] oh wow these threads are great... OP, the 22 was played awful and AK is a giant favourite against 22 hand range equity wise. Think about AK as roughly equivalent to JJ if it was a pp in terms of how well it does against a fairly wide stacking range (such as 66+, KQ, KJ, AT+, etc). The vast majority of these hands are crushed by AK and it has 45%+ equity vs pps. 22 however is a flip vs most overcards (and a dog vs s/cs) and absolutely crushed by all other pps. You simply cannot get 22 in "good" except for the 0.5% of the time you get it in vs 2x. Run it through pokerstove if you want to see the exact numbers, but there is nothing wrong with stacking off w/AK preflop in a tournament in the majority of cases and you certainly shouldn't be worried about losing a race.
