equity (%) win (%) tie (%)

Hand 3: 02.8132 % 02.22% 00.59% { 2h2s }

only way for 2c2d to win is to catch a straight flush, 23456

Wow, that's as bad as it gets. Almost drawing dead preflop!!

As you can see the pocket twos are drawing dead. Can't even get a split. I don't think there is a simpler way to do it. I tried to take out one of the pocket Aces, but it will not work, as the twos could still split if the board went quads with an ace kicker!

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 45.5336 % 01.77% 43.76% { AcAs }
Hand 2: 45.5336 % 01.77% 43.76% { AdAh }
Hand 3: 03.0202 % 00.07% 02.95% { TcTs }

Hand 6: 01.4462 % 00.03% 01.41% { 5d5h }
Hand 7: 00.0000 % 00.00% 00.00% { 2c2s }

If you want to make a hand draw dead to a win, you can do it simpler.

But to prevent a chop, you need to eliminate all straight flush combos, which means you have to get rid of the 5's and the 10's. And to make sure that quads plus a board kicker doesnt play, you have to eliminate all of the aces.

We recently had a thread on this. What you've said isn't quite true. You could leave the 5s and 10s.

For example:

AA,AA
JJ,JJ
66,66
any xx,xx where x is 2-5 will do.

Note that no straight flush is possible.

You could even allow a straight flush to go out:
AA,AA
TT,TT
44,44
33,33 or 22,22 will do.

5 - 9 could come out but TT wins in that case.

or
AA,AA
88,88
33,33
22,22

In this case all four of bottom guys are drawing dead.

I found a 7 hand situtation where one hand is drawing completely dead:

KcKs - drawing dead
AcAs
AdKh
AhKd
QcQs
7d7h
7c7s

Why do you need the 7s here?

Otherwise 23456 would be an all way chop

Nicely done with the 7 hand situation. Trying to beat it...
