Default interesting LHE prop -- advice?

What side would you take in the following prop:

Heads up, limit hold 'em. Say 10-20, blinds 5 and 10

Button and blinds rotate as normal

Player 1 always gets the two red aces, face up, as his pocket cards

Player 2 always gets 2 random cards from the rest of the shuffled deck, face down.



Who do you like? I think I would take Player 2 but I want to see what you guys think.

Obviously, strategy-wise, player 1 is always going to raise preflop and player 2 should probably always call. What is interesting is what the strategy for player 1 should be post flop... my intuition says he should always check.... but how often does he call?

Overall, who has the edge here?

Let me get this straight. I get AA and you get 2 random cards to play against me and all I have to do is play them face up? I think I am taking AA. There must be something wierd you are trying to look at here but I certainly can't see it.

What he's trying to show is whether knowing exactly that a player has AA can overcome the strength of aces. Obviously it can't. A better matchup might be something like TT.

Aces are better regardless of player 2 strategy. Even if player 1 never fold.
