Best Hand Against Aces
The highest possible straight flush, and the best hand in poker, is an ace high straight flush, also known as a royal flush A “ royal flush” consists of a straight from ten to the ace with all five cards of the same suit. A royal flush is exceptionally rare and is therefore the most coveted hand in poker. If you knew your opponent had rockets and you still had to play them for stacks, what would be your best option? The best hand against pocket aces is 78s, where no suit is covered by the ace. Against this particular holding, aces are “only” around 77% favorite, which is. JT's equity is the lowest, since his straight outs are blocked by the aces and even when broadway is hit the board has to run out unpaired. T9's equity isn't the best, since the board can run out KQJT, giving aces a better straight. 98's equity isn't best, since the board can still run out KQJT. Now our last 3 hands are extremely close in equity.

Best Poker Hand Against Aces
If someone hits a set off of the flop or two pair which is possible, then you are just unlucky. Even if you hit your set on the flop unless its like 3 9 A where theres no possible chance for a flush or straight coming on that turn then i would come in on the slow play.
Perfect example yesterday was playing in the 20$ turbo jackpot SNG yesterday on Titan and this guy decided to raise x3 the BB and i had A4 suited and 2 others calls so i decides to see what all the fuss was about and the flop hit QKA, Im on the button(best position), and he checks it and as so everyone else around because i hate someone raising and checking on a flop because it resembles a lot of strength usually. The turn came out a 10, he immediately pushed all in. Everyone folded except the SB who called because obv he has the J, it was a tale of QQ vs QJ and since the flop was QKA10, QJ is beating the set with its straight, and rver came a blank so the QJ won. HAd the QQ came out with a nice strong bet on the flop he could have avoided this, but he was trying to be fansy and wasnt aggressive enough on that flop. Try to stay away from stuff like this. Its not good for ya
