Best hand to play against AA?

The best hand to have all-in versus AA preflop would be the remaining two aces.

My bad, pokerfarian beat me to it

Anything suited except for maybe Ace something suited. Suited connectors also work.

On the flip side if I have aces I'm super aggressive like all in type aggressive because I've seen aces get beat so often.

I was involved in a 4-way preflop all-in, AA vs. KK vs. QQ vs 78s. When I saw that lineup, I thought the 78s player was a dingbat. But I guess he wasn't so far off.

(The flop had an A, and I held the AA. Good times.)

It depends on the pot. If all four stacks were even 87s wouldn't have enough equity to call, he needs about 20% just to break even.

What hand can 67s or 78s beat that 56s can't? Other than the off the wall chance a five flush hits higher then a 6.

Any two pair on the broad defaults to AA, 56 can make just as many straights and beat the wheel.

Actually the best hand is v AA is AA which has 50% expectation, except in my local live game where I found the As duplicated, making AAs possible, imagine a 10 out flush draw!

The next best pair is 66, because 65432 board beats the wheel, and 5432A board busts set A's.

But the sooted connectors 87s..65s are slightly better I think, and will play better in FLHE, if not in NLHE, against pre-flop raiser in earlier position.

65s has a 23.05% chance to beat AA pre-flop, 76s and 87s are very close: 23.03% and 23.02% respectively.

BTW: The worst hand against AA that I found is A9o, where the 9 shares the same suit as one of the aces - the pre-flop chances are merely 5.91%...
