Later I will answer with more detail, but here you have a math error.
It's true that you have 169 possible hands, but the error is in the hands you will play.
You will play less than 14% (23/169) hands... I wont do the right maths now, but you cannot count a pair in hand in the same way that 2 suited cards or 2 unsuited cards.
As example: AA, you have 6 possible combinations, AKs, you have only 4 possible combinations, but AKu you have 12 possible combinations, so is right that you only have 169 possible hands preflop, and do not make a difference between AcAd from AhAd to study the chances that those hands have, but isn't ok don't use this information to calculate the % of hands that you will play.
