That's odd. I'm sure there we're more posts in this thread earlier :P. As far as your question goes spoon, neither of these are in my utg range but maybe that's not your point. The easiest way to answer this for me is to stove it so... yeah 53.63% in favor of T9s, which seems right because sometimes we're hitting overpairs and flushdraws. Although, 22's gonna have some showdown value, albeit weak, more often.

I guess your point is that with 22 having less equity than T9s, which isn't in my utg range anyway, why would I want 22 in my utg range? If so you've made your point. If not I'll take my deserved troutslap.

The equity of T9s against 22 is irrelevant here. As an aside, even though T9s beats 22 aipf, 22 beats AKo aipf, and AKo beats T9s aipf. Hopefully you can start to see one reason why this is irrelevant (hint: hold'em hand equities aren't transitive).

The point is what are you going to be doing on the flop, what sorts of hands are you going to have on the flop, and how often? A piece of software called Flopzilla that has a 7-day trial can be useful here.

Once you get that, the answer to the OP will be obvious.
