Default Puzzle: worst luck holding AA

I came across this old digest:

http://www.twoplustwo.com/digests/to...0_msg.html#284

and was intrigued by the discussion on when to fold AA preflop. Greg Raymer posted this

No fuzzy thinking. I wasn't commenting on the major question of the thread, just pointing out that the chances of AA winning (when all-in preflop) will never go below 20%. I guess the odds might go below 20% if there are enough players, but it takes more than 10, which is a number you'll never exceed in a casino game.

which got me thinking about the following puzzle: What would be the worst possible table to be hold AA against assuming everyone goes all-in pre-flop?

My answer gives AA a chance of %3.91 to win. Does anyone have a lower result? Here's the table I devised: http://twodimes.net/h/?z=839505
