Some observations:

A low mixed bag vs. a high mixed bag is usually a coinflip or the low bag is a favourite.
A high hand without an ace is usually a dog against a low hand with an ace.
In general, the high hand seems to do worse than the low hand.
One time when the high hand is a favourite, is when the high hand has an ace and a pair, e.g. AQQJ vs. a low hand with an ace. However, if the low hand doesn't have an ace, it's usually a coinflip or the low hand is a favourite.
AAxx hands are always a favourite, unless they're up against a better AA hand.
