| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A6s | 1.461 | 1.691 | 2.474 | 0.685 |
| KTo | 0.685 | 2.474 | 1.691 | 1.461 |
The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.
Who is ahead on which flops
A6s prefers low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), where it holds 76.16%, and likes rainbow flops topped by a ten or better least, where it holds 51.81%. A6s stays ahead on all five textures, but the swing between them is large, so how the flop looks matters a great deal.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.988 | 51.745 | 0.130 | 48.125 | 51.810 |

| Monotone | 5.212 | 54.920 | 2.364 | 42.716 | 56.102 |
| Paired | 17.091 | 64.744 | 0.628 | 34.628 | 65.058 |
Read the flop types this way: rainbow has three suits, two-tone has two cards of one suit, monotone has three, and paired repeats a rank.
