Default Re: best starting hands source?

Deciding on what 2 cards to play 3,4 or 5 handed is as much about position, chip stacks and the other players as your starting cards. I suggest reading (previously recommended) books and playing lots.

Heads up:
For playing heads up against an unknown hand:
K2s wins 53.21% of pots (ranked #71 of 169 starting hands)
75s winw 43.68% of pots (ranked #124 of 169 starting hands)

Heads up between K2s and 75s: K2s wins 54.50%.

Top 20 starting hands to play heads up (% is % of pots won against an unknown hand):
AA (85.20%)
KK (82.40%)
QQ (79.93%)
JJ (77.47%)
TT (75.01%)
99 (72.06%)
88 (69.16%)
AKs (67.04%)
77 (66.24%)
AQs (66.21%)
AJs (65.39%)
AKo (65.32%)
ATs (64.60%)
AQo (64.43%)
AJo (63.56%)
KQs (63.40%)
66 (63.28%)
A9s (62.78%)
ATo (62.72%)
KJs (62.57%)

So, heads up against unknown opposition AKs (67.04% pots won) is marginally better than 77 (66.24%). Which do you prefer 3 way? 4 way? 5 way?
