C'mon man what is the purpose of this question ? To give you more posts ? If yes i don't think cardschat find it as a valuable. The answer always will be AA and if it is so hard to you to check probability of winnings of this hands look below

Pocket aces, why to prefer pocket two? They win only as the only pair or if you the other 2. Aces are the best you can get!

Aces are a stronger pair than 2’s so will win 7/10 if I’m correct?

For sure Aces are the better choice...

But I've seen so, so many times AA loses to whatever other hand...

And I guess it depends on how the play will go.

You can't be absolutely sure you're going to win by just holding AA, I think.

If your holding pocket aces you have an 85% chance of winning the hand against a single opponent. If you had the deuces instead your chance of winning goes down to 50%. In pots against two opponents your chance of winning with the aces is almost
75% with the twos you can expect to win only 30% of the time

Honestly, I almost never play pocket 22s.

I can be in the cutoff and I probably be folding 22s

From one extreme to the other both hands look good till the flop then comes the str8 or the flush and it's over for both just my opinion :deal:

Playing pocket 2s and As.

Depending on the position you're in and the flop, pocket deuces can break pocket aces, but that's highly unlikely. I've had lower pairs break my pocket aces on the flop and post-flop, which isn't fun, but does happen. Even with aces, it's easily breakable if the villain flops bottom set.

With aces, I usually bet pretty big pre-flop and I'm comfortable raising all-in. With pocket deuces, I will usually bet pretty big in position and fold if it escalates to all-in.

I Have folded 2s way more often pre flop then As.And it depends on how deep in the compation Iam 2s are one of those hands that are so sneaky no one ever thinks you called a preflop raise with 2s.but like i said i have folded why more then called with them.

Sometimes 22 can really be played with advantage, but do not get carried away with it. I can go from 22 to Multibank when many people call 1 bb, if I'm lucky they would pay me. But AA is really better.:confused:

I can say the same for pocket Aces with set in the flop :D

Plus, I prefer Aces because you can't lose set over set.

I'll be totally honest here in my 10 years of playing and 5 years full time I have lost more money with AA than 22 so for me it's situational in position or not limping in or not but yes normally you're always better with AA but beware lol...the only worse hand for me is JJ no word of a lie I've actually documented it I've lost over 18,000 with JJ in my life it just flops terrible always...your never happy unless you flop a set

With AA, I’m always ready to preflop from any position! 22 only from late call for 3 bet fold definitely!

Aces all the way

I much prefer aces over any other hand. even though they will lose occasionally, and I hate ducks.
