44 against T8s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44 | 47.983 | 1.180 | 50.837 | 48.573 |
| T8s | 50.837 | 1.180 | 47.983 | 51.427 |
Here a pocket pair (44) meets a suited hand (T8s). This is a pair against two overcards, a matchup that stays close because the other hand only needs one of its ranks to appear.
That is a slim edge: neither hand is far ahead. Of every 100 boards, about 1.18 are split pots, and the equity figures already include them.
For context, 44 sits at number 48 of 169 starting hands and T8s at number 73 when each is run against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| T8s | 20,892,000 | 485,000 | 19,719,000 |
The board total is exact, 24 deals at 1,712,304 boards each. Won, tied and lost counts are rounded to the nearest thousand from the five-decimal percentages.

| T8s | 1.059 | 1.967 | 2.084 | 0.945 |
The last column is the smallest pot odds, written as a pot-to-call ratio, at which a call breaks even with this equity.
