Actually, that's closer to 6 or 7%. I tested this by pitting AcKc vs AsKs against each other in poker stove. Also, don't always mold your hands to fit some arbitrary starting hands chart. The hands you play should be dependent on the table, the amount of limpers and position. If everyone limps or folds around to me on the button and i have AQ or AJ, i'm gonna pop off a raise because I think i'm ahead preflop. If someone raises and everyone folds to me, I'm folding AJ in that situation because there is nothing more menacing than being dominated and hitting your A.
