Fascinating stuff. So AK suited RED is a tiny favourite v any black pair. To my shame, I did not know that.

If you are of a mind, what's the story if your man is holding 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] v AK [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

That one is better for 22:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.298% 49.96% 00.33% 855521 5727.00 { 2d2s }
Hand 1: 49.702% 49.37% 00.33% 845329 5727.00 { AdKd }

The worst for AK (other than AA or KK) is this:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 42.724% 42.57% 00.16% 728909 2661.00 { AcKd }
Hand 1: 57.276% 57.12% 00.16% 978073 2661.00 { ThTs }

The thing to remember about AK is that it is crushed by AA, a pretty big dog to KK, is a "toss up" against 22-QQ, it crushes AQ and lower and is around a 2:1 favourite against other unpaired undercards.

So all this means that AK is a good hand to come over the top all-in with. It likes to see all five cards and there are only two hands it is in trouble against.
