Default Re: non-transitivity of heads-up matches

Among the nonpairs, the best hand is generally determined by which hand has the higher high card. Among pairs, the best hand is determined by the rank. When a pair is favored over a nonpair, any higher pair is also favored. In order to have nontransitivity, you need to have something like a pair over a high nonpair over a low suited connector over the pair, or you need to use some of the exceptions to the ordering of nonpairs.

Here are some examples of the exceptions:
