pocket rockets

[yavo79]

so i just learned today that 9 10s is better odds against rockets. is this true or is someone tryin to blow smoke up my wazoo.

I would say that it's true if 3 or more callers, Then they will often be holding each others outs. I have read many times that 56 suited is the hand that most often cracks aces.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will answer

56, 78, all these small suited conn are the best hand you would want to have when facing AA.
You have about 22,87 % to win. In comparison, holding any PP (different suits from the AA) will give u aprox 20% chances to win.

[pirates831]

yes, though i thought i read it was TJ suited that had the best chance. been a while. but its also why, in a tournament, you will often see a player go all-in with those hands

Once again a thread showing how much i really don't know, because honestly i would take AA over those others no matter what the stats or odds said. In fact unless i had those cards in the blinds i don't think they wouls ever even see the flop
