say you're all-in preflop against one opponent in Texas Hold 'em. What are the 4 hole cards that give you the mathematical worst of the worst of it?

My apologies if this has already gone by, I couldn't find the question/answer in the archives or google. I'm fairly certain I have the answer, and I find it interesting that it is unique aside from the suits.

AA vs A6 with the 6 suited to one of the AA Aces.

The one I usually see cited is
KsKc v Kh2s

PokerStove says

5.08 % to 94.92 % dog
vs
6.14% to 93.86 % dog
for the AA v A6 cited above
Difference due to the 2 making fewer straights than a 6.

Ahh, good one, never though of that.

That's the one I was thinking of. Well done, though "usually see cited" suggests my question wasn't particularly original.
