Is QQ weaker than 22 in an all-in?

Well xtra i see your point about the high card 2 kicker being folded...but just as easy a Q low kicker could also have been folded.

well, it sounds like you have a plan and it seems to be working.....no one ever said that everyone must play the same......but mathmatically it is a mistake to prefer 22 or any mid pair over QQ...now maybe in the short term you will do better with 22 but over the long term, if both are played properly, you will not do better with 22 than with QQ. Again, it all comes back to the math.

I agree with Frankie. Pocket pair is better than that card and a higher card. ie.QQ vs AQ or KQ. I hate math so im not going to get into odds but i'll take my chances with pocket jacks or above. ScotiatheOne also makes an interesting point in which 44 is as good as kk heds up. Thought bout that one for a while and it isn't entirely true. There are 4 possibilites for a staright with pocket 4s(A2345, 23456, 34567, 45678), and there are only 2 possibilites with kings(910JQK, 10JQKA). So, in relaity, pocket 4s are BETTER than pocket kings HEADS UP. Just some food for thought.

In reality QQ matches up against AQ much better than 22...however 22 is much closer to QQ against AK...QQ has around a 4% advantage

However Martinez 44 is a big dog to KK....KK has over 60% advantage

Not heads up it doesn't...I think?(not sure)

Yes heads up KK vs 44 --- 60%+
now 44 vs KK against AA --- 44 has a slight advantage

ABSOULTELY NOT!!!!

Simply put here are the pre-flop odds of QQ v. 22 in a heads up situation. In this scenario, I've assumed the suits are the same (both hands hold heart, diamond).

PRE-FLOP ODDS:
QQ - 82.2%
22 - 17.2%
tie - 0.6%

There you go, you are 4:1 to win with QQ v. 22.

Hope this helps!

Jake...your missing the point...its not QQ against 22
its how does QQ match up to AK...vs a 22 mach up against AK
in other words which pair would you rather have to go against AK...QQ or 22...it is close to a toss-up (4 percentage points difference)

Just a second while I take my foot out of my mouth. Thanks for the clarification CRAPSHOOT.

Either way, you still have a slight advantage because you already have a hand other than high card. As most players, I would prefer to have the high PP, but being able to discern whether one hand is better than the other is going to rely on the luck of the cards that fall on the flop, turn, and river. The higher PP gives the advantage of holding a higher pair pre-flop over your opponent (say J-J), but anyone can make a set to change the hand.

I typically have bad luck w/ QQ, but have taken down sizeable pots on occasion. You can only hope your wager is high enough with the QQ, you force the other pp's out.

Here are the correct odds, just as CRAPSHOOT said (~4% advantage holding the higher PP).

2d2h 51.9%
AdKh 47.4%
tie 0.7%

QdQh 56.1%
AdKh 43.4%
tie 0.5%

Sorry for the mixup.
