I alwyas thought that any pp beat any non pp hand heads up (by a slim margin). But look at this: http://twodimes.net/poker/?g=h&b=&d=&h=5d+5c%0D%0A8h+9h%0D%0A%0D%0A

preflop, and pair is a favorite over a pair of over cards. That doesnt mean they will always win. 22 is a favorite of AK, but it is something like 50.1-49.9, Very slim margin. most people would rather have AK over 22 though.

Look at the link though. Is that site wrong?

That's because your test hand is suited connectors, you have to fator in the flush/straight/straightflush draws with a hand like that.
55 would have a much easier time against something like K8os particularly if all 4 cards were from same suits.
(when i say much easier i mean by a few % but enough to make it the favourite.)

I understand they are suited connectors, but are they really favored?

they have that many more outs yes.
the cards you picked would actually have more outs than say AKs which has a down draw to a straight but no up draw. so having 9Ts would be more of a favourite over a small pair than AKs

OK, I was just making sure.
I had always thought that a pair was favored, but its good to know it isn't.
