AK v. Lesser Pairs

[Jax_Grinder]

After once again pushing an edge with 88 against AKo and getting spiked by the river K (PP NL MTT, early, had him 3x covered, he had led out with T60 raise at 10/20 blinds), I was hammered by the room for making that move w/ 88. Typical comment was "ROFL! 88! I'll take AK every time!".
I know that nearly every person who ever picked up a card knows the edge here h/u, so I won't belabor the point. What I am after is a good example of just how important this edge is over time.

The example I came up with is as follows:

160 person h/u tourney.
1/2 Dealt 88 each hand.
1/2 Dealt AKo each hand.
All-in preflop each hand.

My numbers tell me that 7 of the final 10 are the "Crazy 88s." A pretty significant edge over the course of 4 rounds.

Is this useless? Any ideas to expand on the example? Comments?

(PS: Whle typing this, my JJ got taken out by A5s and ended my Super. PP is a fraud!)
