AA against 65s is the "big pair vs live cards" matchup. The pair dominates the raw numbers — 77.3% to 22.3% with 0.4% ties — but suited connectors are the best-equipped hand class to crack it: two live ranks, straight potential, and a flush draw mean they win roughly one time in four or five, more than most dominated high-card hands can manage.
