i'd much rather have AK, AK is a favorite over 22 and much more likely to have someone dominated rather than be a coinflip situation.
This is not true. Heads up, 22 is a slight favorite over AK. In Super System, Brunson talks about making a lot of money off this misconception by letting people have AK v. his 22 hot and cold.
If, however, the decision is between 22 and AKs where neither of the 2s are the same suit as the AK, then the AKs is actually a slight favorite: 50.1/49.9.
If one of the 2s is the same suit as the AKs, 2s have the edge: 50.3%/49/7%.
22 against AKo, 2s are a clear favorite at 52.7%/47.3%.
If you expect more callers and therefore that someone has a pocket pair, then AK is better than 22 because it is only dominated by AA and KK and is a coin flip against the rest. However, if there is no pocket pair, 22 is a stronger hand than AK against multiple callers because some of the AKs 6 outs are already usually in someone else's hand, and vice versa.
