You remember 'incorrectly' ;)Best hand (preflop) vs. AA is 65s (98s, 87s, follow as a close 2nd).
AA v 65s 77.5% vs 22.499%
AA v T9s 77.796% vs 22.204%
& fwiw, AA v KK 81.946% vs 18.054% (this is not including calculations for whether or not we have suits covered)

Hehehe, fold bullets? Never! However the biggest mistake I have seen people make with AA is betting too high preflop. If you do it, you sew yourself into a corner. Now I have noticed on the Merge server, it is giving favor to KK right now (who knows, maybe that will change?). Nevertheless, if you play those bullets wisely, the loss if need be, will not be too costly and the win, not so shabby! Remember discipline and if your in a freeroll, well, you just know better than to go all in with those bullets, right? ;)

On merge any two cards can and probly will beat AA in a all in preflop,or if your oponent is slow playing AA normaly its the one with q6o type hand that takes out my AA in a slow play mode so if i gotta go against AA any donk hand will do,lol,but i would rather not be in that hand,I dont think theres realy any great one hand to go against AA, suited conectors is your best shot I guess,but I seen many times AA lose to any two more then suited conectors,of course I'm still talking about merge sites,lol,let me add,i was told by a wise man once,AA will win a small pot or loose a big pot
. I'm with the majority here, probably a suited connector of some sort...but if I know they have AA...I'm outta there.

Yeah, the ironic thing about this thread is that the hands that are best to play against AA (T9 suited, 78 suited, 56 suited) are hands that you would almost never consider playing to a 3-bet or a big raise.

It's almost like the scenario...villian has K9. If you call him with K4, you are dominated by him, and an underdog. If you call his K9 with 72 offsuit, you will be in better shape and win a higher percentage of the time! Even though if you were to pit K8 v 72 and K4 would win most of the time, the 72 would be much better in the scenario vs the K9.
So back to my original question, if you knew your opponent had aces and could pick your hand out, I think the best possible hand to have is something like 78 suited, where neither one of those aces are the same suit. It allows you to hit a straight or a flush, or two pair of course.
You still aren't a favorite to win vs the aces obviously, but I think it's the best possible scenario. Except, if you have the OTHER two aces and force a split pot, then that might be the best scenario
