Of course aces. This is the biggest couple. I also always win with aces. I don’t know how you can make another choice here, but everyone has their own opinion.:)))

Naturally aces, and the answer will give mathematics.

Are the deuces sooted?

No, in all seriousness though, I'd rather have the AA. If by chance I can get in cheap to set mine w/the 22 , then by all means I will. You've gotta be able to dump either post flop depending on the texture of the board and how the betting starts to unfold.

If a small raise was made you can play any small pairs in the hope of winning a set

Different maps. :) And are played in different ways. What does this have to do with preference?

hahah this has got to be the fluffiest first post ive ever seen. i will indulge though and say i prefer 2s. obviously aces are the strongest starting hand but with 2s, at least you know EXACTLY wher eyou are, either you hit a set or you fold. i like the ease of choice

No offense but really?

Is this what qualifies for the hot topic? I am kicking myself while replying on this post myself.

AA

I prefer pocket AA's because they are the best starting hand you can have. However, It is much easier to set mine with pocket 22's.

I think this question is kind of oblivious to the answer: without a doubt a pair of aces, for the simple fact that the percentage of victories will be much higher than that of the pair of 2.

There’s not a second in my life where I would choose any hand but aces if given the choice. AA is obv the best starting hand.

Pocket A's or Pocket 2's, as usual most give the simple answer of A's and down play any possibility of choosing the pocket 2's.
I typically make more from the pocket 2's when they hit then A's and sometimes it's very painful to have to Fold the A's when the board hits straightish or Fludhish and you can loose a ton if your not disciplined.

PreFlop: AA - Obviously
PostFlop: Situational dependent and very easy to get away from when they miss and they can be big money makers hiding in the shadows when they hit.
