I'm fairly certain that all the pairs, from KK to 22, have an equal chance of drawing you out.

n4cer1 is correct, the answer is the other aces.

but if your question was about what non AA hand has the best chance, it's 76s or 65s, i can't remember which, but it's so close i doubt it matters. offhand i would say 65s

Default ANSWER

The best hands versus your black Aces are:

1) red Aces (pick'em)
2) 65 suited in a red suit (about a 3-1 dog; couldn't get to
two dimes.net!)

I couldn't believe it when I saw it but twodimes agrees... 65s (red) stands the best chance against black Aces besides red Aces.

My question: how the heck?

You can catch a straight, flush (+ 2 pair, trips, etc.), and making your hand is much less likely to make his hand (for example jts could make 2 pair and lose to a str8).
