You need to be more specific. Do you mean pre-flop ? If so, then only a fool would prefer 22 over AA since the latter wins 80% of the time. If the flop is out and showing a 2 without an A, then obviously I would rather have the 22.

I prefer pocket aces because this is the best starting hand. Also, with a pocket pair of AA, you can without hesitation put all-in preflop.

Pocket Pairs all the way!!!

Just kidding, I prefer having the best hand in the game (which isn't a pocket pairs by the way) to the hand that's ok unless you luck out with three of a kind.

Because no one ever suspects that their precious high pair or two pair would ever lose to a bunch of two's. Lol

Prefop AA rules
I play 22 only to catch a set.
I know one person for whom 22 is a favorite couple. He says: come swans, you will be better here :D

The small pair can pay off a lot more when you hit, but who doesn't want aces?

The answer should be obvious. But if any part of you prefers the pocket 22s, it’s indicative of some kind of tilt where your decision-making is being informed by emotion rather than sound poker strategy. Perhaps fear of strong opening hands after getting burned one too many times?

If we're talking about being under the gun, 22 is easier to play because you're primary goal is to mine a set on the flop, so it's a very binary play, whereas having pocket aces pretty much forces you to commit all of your chips in the hand, even if you get a bad flop, even if you suspect that you're beat.

Well, the pocket twos are, in some ways, easier to play because you're primary objective with this hand is to mine a set on the flop, whereas with pocket aces you are almost inextricably tied to playing a pot with your entire stack. It's always interesting to see some players fold pocket twos or pocket threes under the gun. While it's a good strategy to see a flop with pocket twos, if the price is too expensive, pre-flop, it is probably not, statistically, the correct play.

Pocket aces over twos any day for me, 22 is only a very good hand if you can get in very cheap or in a multi way pot and flop a set. Aces are good pre flop 100 percent of the time , they manage to get unlucky and lose about 20 but percent of the time, but 22 are rarely the best hand, and even if they are, they get cracked 50 percent of the time. It is not even a real thought of what anyone would prefer to hold in my opinion.
