A long running discussion here whats the better hand forget percentages what would you rather have pocket 2's or ace king suited, (the pocket 2's don't have one of the suits that are in the ace king) in my opinion i'd rather have the "made hand" pocket 2's cause you don't have to hit but then there's the other's who think different......right better make this more simple......down to last 3 in a World series bracelet event and the button pushes all in with the ace-king but turns them over by mistake(the hand is allowed to stand) you look down and you've got pocket 2's......what would you rather have the 2's or ace king suited...... All 3 remaining players have the same 450k stack and the blinds are 10k-20k with a 750 running ante. Your the big blind the small blind has passed. 1st pays £500k 2nd pays £345k and 3rd pays £170k

I suppose how much its going to cost and what comp your in if its a donkfest then i would be happy with either hand. If its the Gupter and its your tourney life I wouldnt be pushing with 2-2. AK soooted I would push pocket two's would fold to my move Laughing Laughing Laughing probably unless shrewdy had them he'd call.

It would depend on the skill level of the 2 opponents.

If it was me v Ivey v Negreanu, then Id be happy to take a 50/50 with the 22. If it was 2 guys were much worse than me, then id muck both hands, as I would feel that I could outplay them, and not have to risk a 50/50.

Paul.
