A6s against JTs: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6s | 53.677 | 0.475 | 45.848 | 53.914 |
| JTs | 45.848 | 0.475 | 53.677 | 46.086 |

A6s ranks number 31 of 169 starting hands, and JTs ranks number 45, by equity against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|

| JTs | 12,561,000 | 130,000 | 14,706,000 |
Exact total: 16 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.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6s | 1.170 | 1.863 | 2.181 | 0.855 |
| JTs | 0.855 | 2.181 | 1.863 | 1.170 |
In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity.
