Why is this hand such a dog to AAxx?

The same reason you'd rather have 89s in holdem than KK, if you are against AA. But magnified. A doublesuited wrap has four cards to make two pair with instead of two cards to make two pair with and one card to make a set, along with way more straight and flush possibilities, in part because even if you have other broadway cards with your paint pair, he has two of your straight outs. Versus AA, the questions isn't how good your hand is now, but how frequently do you improve to beat one pair.
