best possible hand to beat ace ace

[crazylegs]

If your opponent has AA...
Whats the best hand to beat it?

Some people should say KK.. - Wrong
Suited AK - Wrong
27 (lol) - Wrong

The best hand against AA is suited 56
Ok with suited 56 u can get flush..
and these straights...

2-6, 3-7, 4-8, 5-9

These straights dont involve aces so u got more chances...
People should ask... Why 56 and not 67, or 78.

Well, 67 has more probabilities to win (around .10 more)
But i has less to tie... (about 1 less)
So 56 has better chances not to lose vs AA

With 56, the chances for AA to win are around 75%

Really cant explain why, but is mathematically proved..

The math is simple.  AA needs 2 cards in the deck to improve.  56suited needs 6 + 9suited cards + 12 str8 cards in order to improve.  Not too bad of the odds to improve so that 56suited will beat pocket aces.
