Running TT into AA is a cooler, but TT should not be folded preflop in standard play. Against a typical aggressive range, TT has sufficient equity to call raises and even 3-bet. The occasional disaster against AA is the cost of playing a profitable hand. TT's primary win condition is flopping a set (11.8%), which creates a massive pot when it happens since AA will rarely fold an overpair.
Why TT Has Slightly More Equity Than 22-66 vs AA
TT has about 19.6% equity against AA compared to roughly 18-19% for smaller pairs. The small difference comes from straight potential — boards like J-Q-K or 7-8-9 can give TT a straight that AA cannot beat. This marginal extra equity does not change any strategic decisions but explains why poker equity is not perfectly uniform across all underpair matchups.
