Default Visible Aces vs. any two cards

Inspired by Question 19 of the donkey test.

Two players are playing heads up Pot Limit Hold'em with effectively unlimited stacks. However, one of them is always dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] face up. The other is dealt random cards face down as usual.

a) Who do you think has the advantage, all other things being equal? Is this a particularly big edge - or small enough so a particularly skilled player could win with either two over a weak player in the long run?
b) What is your basic strategy if you are playing the random cards?
c) What is your basic strategy if you are playing the Aces?

Obviously b) and c) depend on the opponent's tenancies, so it could be a matter of trying to find the Nash equilibrium if possible. Your strategy for playing the Aces could simply be what you think is the best counter strategy for the way you would suggest playing the random cards.
