I like AK much more, because with it we are only afraid of AA and KK, against other hands we have many chances to win. Deuces have only 50% against most hands, but they fear all pairs.

AK for sure, I hate going all in with low pockets because you will almost never have the better odds, especially if they got pockets as well, you are screwed

Well...

Gosh thats a tough one. i would rather not go all in unless i was short stack late in the game with giant blinds. I'd probably choose AK though if I were pressed. Great question!

I would prefer to have AK, because often when I enter with a low pair of all-in on the flop there are two higher pairs and I lose with a kicker.

Duckies (pocket deuces, 22) was my favorite hand in poker. I thought it was the perfect hand to trap players when flopping a set

But as I played more and more poker, I realized this hand is terrible

With AK I would have more value in the long run vs 22

I would prefer to go all-in with a pocket card AK. Given my experience in online poker, I would give up on all-in with small pocket pairs.

I do not like all in with low pairs more depending on the game situation many times may be your best option, but overall I do not really like going with low pairs

I'm generally not a fan of having to go all-in with low pairs, especially against several opponents (except when the situation is critical in the tournament or I understand that my opponent tries to steal the blind). However, at different stages of the tournament, you can play low pairs in different ways ....

I would take the pocket pair because I would take the statistical advantage even though it does not workout for me more times than not.

I prefer AK, with that hand you are behind of AA and KK only. QQ, JJ and TT are bad too because they decrease your chance to straight.

Probably you will be in coin flip or worst with 22, your best chance is if you play against someone that have 2x but it happens a few times.
