Has anyone ever done a survey of what hands do the most damage?

Seems to me low trips with the two hole cards paired is the hand that takes out the most people in tourneys.

i would think better pair would be the most common "knock-out" hand just because a pair is the lowest and most common hand someone would play.

just guessing, though...

This was a trivia question asked on World Poker Tour last night.

Q: You have AA in your hand, what would you rather your opponent have? KK or 77?

Answer below:
A: KK will win 18.5% of the time. 77 will win 20% of the time (there are more straight possibilities with a 77)

I'm sure that fact can be calculated into your theory.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Apparently the best hand to take down a PP or Ax that do not include an ace or other pair is JTs

This was ran in a computer simulation and to quote the writer.

"* The best hand other than an ace or pair is JTs! Maybe that old idea about JT being the "best hand" wasn't _so_ crazy."

I'd rather have the other pair of aces

O it came out at

JTs: 0.435095 % Vs a random pair btw
