The way I think of this kind of hand is that 2-pair has about 25% to make a set if played to the river.

[/ QUOTE ] The mistake here is that 2 pair has a 25% of flopping a set, not making a set by the river. 2 pairs against two aa hands ain't bad.

AAKK no suits
AAQQ no suits
7788 doublesuited 44.91%

Who would've thought it? The straight possiblities are worth more than the flush draws because they are always good.

Even with a mince hand like 101055 no suits, you're only a slight dog when the two aa hands are both doublesuited and the sidecards don't match. Not bad at all, especially with the dead blind money.
