    Mathematically speaking the worst preflop situtation you can be in in Hold 'Em is holding K2 while up against KK. With your 2 suited with one of your opponents kings. 
    cards      win   %win     lose  %lose    tie  %tie     EV
Kd Kh  1612287  94.16    73825   4.31  26192  1.53  0.949
Ks 2h    73825   4.31  1612287  94.16  26192  1.53  0.051
    I didn't know this by the way and had to be told it. :)

    Now I remember a discussion on here a while ago where it was concluded that AA vs A9 (same suited stipulation) was actually the worst situation. 
    cards      win   %win     lose  %lose    tie  %tie     EV
Ad Ah  1598785  93.37    89199   5.21  24320  1.42  0.941
As 9h    89199   5.21  1598785  93.37  24320  1.42  0.059
    I don't understand how exactly the KK vs K2 scenario is worse than this (though I trust twodimes :)). Anyone enlighten me?
