|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6s | 56.323 | 0.429 | 43.248 | 56.537 |
| JTo | 43.248 | 0.429 | 56.323 | 43.463 |

For context, A6s sits at number 31 of 169 starting hands and JTo at number 57 when each is run against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| JTo | 35,546,000 | 353,000 | 46,292,000 |
The total is exact: 48 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards. The three counts are approximate, worked out from the percentages to five decimals and rounded to the nearest thousand.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6s | 1.301 | 1.775 | 2.312 | 0.769 |
| JTo | 0.769 | 2.312 | 1.775 | 1.301 |
The final column gives the least the pot must offer for each unit called for a call to break even at this equity.
