Two hands, six card combinations AA has three and KK has three, because
you are using up one Ace and one King. Anything else you are up
against makes you the underdog in a close race or you are the favorite.

> aq has 21 hands that beat it.

Twenty-four card combinations, AA(3) KK(6) QQ(3) and AK(12) all
adjusted because you are using up one Ace and one Queen. Any hand can
beat any other hand but these are the four hands that spoil AQ's chance
for at worst a race. This isn't terrible but it is four times as likely
that you will face a "spoiler" hand with AQ than with AK.

> ace-6 has lotsa hands that dominate it.

Every step down the Ace and another ladder adds eighteen spoiler
combinations. A6 faces 132. Plus there are pairs smaller than 66 where
you are behind. But those give you the race you must have WANTED if you
were playing A6 so hard.
