Two Deuces vs Straight Flush

I always hold a dealt five of a kind that

includes three deuces, although it's sometimes a minutely higher EV to
hold the deuces.

I will only keep the five-of-a-kind in this situation with 3 deuces and a
high pair. With a low pair, I only keep the deuces (per Winpoker). It
seems I can only get the deuces lately this way. I call it the "hand from
hell," since you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. As far as the
original question, I would NEVER break a 2-deuce to a SF. That's why there
are strategy cards. I have all the excitement I need already, thank you.

that's rare)
