# A6s vs 76s: preflop equity

A6s is a big favorite over 76s before the flop: 66.97% to 33.03% equity, counted exactly over every board, with the split by flop type and suit.

Counting every board, the equity split is 66.97% for A6s and 33.03% for 76s, so A6s leads by 33.94 points.

## A6s against 76s: the numbers

**Exact preflop results for A6s against 76s, in percent**

| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A6s | 65.965 | 2.010 | 32.025 | 66.970 |
| 76s | 32.025 | 2.010 | 65.965 | 33.030 |

Each side holds one of the suited hands: A6s and 76s. Sharing a rank is the signature of a dominated hand, since the weaker hand is usually out-kicked when the shared rank shows up.

A lead of 33.94 points is large but not decisive: 76s still takes about 320 of every 1,000 deals. Split pots make up 2.01% of the boards, and both equity figures count them as half a win each.

Ranked by equity against a random hand, A6s is number 31 of the 169 starting hands and 76s is number 115.

**Boards behind the percentages: 20,547,648 counted in all**

| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A6s | 13,554,000 | 413,000 | 6,580,000 |
| 76s | 6,580,000 | 413,000 | 13,554,000 |

Exact total: 12 deals times 1,712,304 boards. The other three counts come from the five-decimal percentages and are rounded to the nearest thousand, so read them as approximate.

**A6s against 76s read as odds**

| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A6s | 2.028 | 1.516 | 3.123 | 0.493 |
| 76s | 0.493 | 3.123 | 1.516 | 2.028 |

In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity.

By flop texture, A6s' equity runs from 48.48% on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) up to 71.86% on paired flops. 76s takes over on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), so the favorite before the flop is the underdog on those boards.
