Aces vs. Joker
 

In holdem, which hand wins more headsup.
Joker 2, or Ace Ace?

Does anyone know the answer?
What are the %'s?
How would one figure out the answer?

No, because you don't use a joker in hold'em.

How would one figure out the answer?

You would use a showdown calculator like Twodimes or PokerStove only they don't have the option to use a joker because, well, you don't use a joker in hold'em. I assume that you are talking about a home game.

I'm just asking a theoretical question, and wondering how maybe one would figure it out.
It started with a debate with a friend of mine who said definately the joker and a 2 hand would win by far, and i wasn't so sure. After thinking about it for awhile, i've come to think aa is better slightly.

I haven't done any calculations, but it seems like the aces would be a little better.

just dealt out 40 hands real quick.
Joker hand won 31-9.
Yikes, my thinking appears to be way off...

40 hands isn't exactly note-worthy.

agreed, but still, it surprised me.

The board pairs about 50% of the time by the river. Any time that happens, J2 will almost always win because they'll have trips vs. two pair. Plus any time a 2, any 4 to a straight, and any 4 to a flush (3 if it matches the suit of the 2) it wins also. I don't know how often that is, but I would think it is pretty often. Unless, AA hits a set (about 20% of the time), J2 is a huge favorite.
