LOL!!
Well... that's not a surprise. Use some propability calculator and check this:
hands
Ah As
9d 9c
Preflop propabilities:
aces win 80,14%
nines win 19,57%
split 0,28%
So what is that phenomenon?

I think it means that 19.806% of the time his AA gets beaten, 99 is the culprit. Which is high for specifically that pocket pair. Any pair will have the same probability against AA I think.
If the suits are exactly different the strongest pocket pair against aces is 66.
Aces win 79,58%
66 win 20,13%
split 0,29%
Weakest ones are 22 (aces win 81,17%) and KK (aces win 81,08%).
99 is stronger than KK-JJ and 44-22, but weaker than the rest (TT-55).
Most likely you get a split pot against 22 (0,49%).
It changes a bit when the suits match, but in those cases the aces are stronger.

If you mean what I hope I nominate this already for 1 of the best posts in 2008
yoghi.Fair enough guys, im familiar with some odds and usually have a rough idea but would have put the odds at less than 10% for 99 v aa thankyou for putting me right, can anyone tell me where i can get odds tables? God damn jusr got done in a torney AK spades me to Q 4 spades all in pre flop... he hit a 4 ;-( PS o well up 2 $200 from the 50 in 3 days im happy, i read the forum posts as i play i find it helps to keep me off the tilt, PS went all in with the 99s earlier in poxy $2 sit an go got raped by KK which believe it or not cheered me up ;-s
Get equilator from the software area and play around a bit and you will get a good feel for the various odds.
Thankyou mate i'll give it a go, went on tilt earlier went down to $100 went on $1 NL got lucky back up to $200 now what an idiot!!! Last hand on $1 \NL i have Aj diamonds guy raises $11 i call Other guy goes all in $97 dude calls i fold, would have hit flush on flop would have won $200 one guy has KK would have hit king high flush to my ace other guy has 3 5 off lol bigger tilt that me coz i took him AAQQQ to his QQQAK, hahaahahaha. Was so stupid earlier but i survived and now have 250 mansion points lol! ;-)
Please read a bankroll management article and read up on the other NL articles as well or your poker career will be quite short. Good luck!
