Nik... if you don't already own it, go grab Harrington on Hold Em Volume 2. Besides being one of the best poker books out there, it has a specific Heads Up section, and included is every hand, and it's percentage favorite against a random hand....great information to have when wondering about a question like this

Another thing you may want to do is play with this for a while:


Just type in lots of hand combinations that you can think of preflop and check out the percentages. The one thing you wil get out of it, if I had to guess, is that "bad cards" aren't nearly as big of an underdog as you would think. This is not to say that you should play them, but when faced with an all in situation preflop, you should take a good look at your pot odds before deciding to fold...

Thanks, Zy and TP, I will take a look at both the book and odds calculator.
