I didn't think (or didn't know, I should say) that there was such a hand.
If I have to play overpair vs. made pair pre-flop, I'd hope for something like this:
Me: A♠K♠
Opponent: Q♣Q♥
That way, I get the added benefit of having three cards to a straight if my opponent hits a set, and I also have a 50% chance of that third queen being a spade to help me along.
Or:
Me: A♠K♠
Opp: 2♣2♥
That way, I'm ahead if two pairs fall on the table. That might be enough to tip the scales, I guess.
Edit: I checked on cardplayer.com. In the latter case AK is favorite. Is it because of the two pairs, or is my reasoning off?
Edit2: Hey, [As][Ts] is even better!

AKs to QQ is underdog. You're right, AKs is favourite to 22 (but not 33?!). Must be because of risk of being counterfited.
The hands i was refering to are TJs and JQs. They are favourites over pairs 77 and under, because of extra flush, straight possibilities. Higher suited connectors (i.e AKs) have less straight possibilities, so are slight underdogs.
F, how did you type card symbols like that?
