yes, but that is a very unlikely holding, who would go all in with such a crap hand?

The point is that most hands with 2 low and decent straight or flush potential will be a favorite over OPs hand. He will often not be the favorite (and when he is it will be a tiny favorite) and often going to be a dog with the possibility of being a pretty big dog. You indicated that he is favorite over anything but a better AA hand, which simply isn't true.

By your own admission, you're a favorite here against almost every hand, and specifically every hand that isn't a better AA hand. So, why would you not want to stick it all in PF when you are a favorite? That's what poker is all about, gettin in the money with an edge.....regardless of whether it's 1% or 80%.

My experience that players who like to raise or reraise preflop either have a high (KKJTs), a low (A2xxs) or AAxx (lesser chance cause you already have two of the Aces). People just don't play T987 or 2345 because the hands they're most likely up against (or atleast mostly fear), KKA2, A23x or AA with any low card, are big favourites aginst those straights.
