The exact count puts AA at 78.84% and JTs at 21.16% when the two hands see all five board cards. ## AA against JTs: the numbers **Exact preflop results for AA against JTs, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AA | 78.651 | 0.377 | 20.972 | 78.840 | | JTs | 20.972 | 0.377 | 78.651 | 21.160 | We compare a pocket pair with a suited hand. A pair against two lower cards is a lopsided matchup: the pair is ahead and the other hand has no overcard to catch. That is a clear edge, 78.84% to 21.16%, but JTs still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. Split pots make up 0.38% of the boards, and both equity figures count them as half a win each. Place 1 of 169 belongs to AA and place 45 belongs to JTs in the ranking against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 41,095,296 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AA | 32,322,000 | 155,000 | 8,619,000 | | JTs | 8,619,000 | 155,000 | 32,322,000 | Exact total: 24 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. **AA against JTs read as odds** | Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AA | 3.726 | 1.271 | 4.768 | 0.268 | | JTs | 0.268 | 4.768 | 1.271 | 3.726 | In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity. ## Who is ahead on which flops By flop texture, AA's equity runs from 73.48% on monotone flops up to 85.85% on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower). AA stays ahead on all five textures. **AA against JTs by flop texture, in percent** | Flop | Share of flops | AA wins | Ties | JTs wins | AA equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.138 | 78.333 | 0.153 | 21.514 | 78.409 | | Rainbow, nine or lower | 7.771 | 85.404 | 0.897 | 13.699 | 85.852 | | Two-tone | 46.545 | 76.696 | 0.314 | 22.990 | 76.853 | | Monotone | 5.212 | 72.280 | 2.405 | 25.315 | 73.482 | | Paired | 17.334 | 83.211 | 0.007 | 16.782 | 83.215 | Flop types: rainbow means three different suits, two-tone means one suit twice, monotone means one suit three times, paired means a repeated rank. ## Compared with a random hand The table below sets each hand against its own random-hand baseline: a change of -6.36 points for AA, from 85.20%, and -36.37 for JTs, from 57.53%. **AA and JTs here compared with each against a random hand, in percent** | Case | Equity here | Against a random hand | Change in points | Times the random-hand equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AA, all flops | 78.840 | 85.204 | -6.364 | 0.92531 | | AA, rainbow, ten or higher | 78.409 | 85.204 | -6.795 | 0.92025 | | AA, rainbow, nine or lower | 85.852 | 85.204 | +0.648 | 1.00761 | | AA, two-tone | 76.853 | 85.204 | -8.351 | 0.90199 | | AA, monotone | 73.482 | 85.204 | -11.722 | 0.86242 | | AA, paired | 83.215 | 85.204 | -1.989 | 0.97666 | | JTs, all flops | 21.160 | 57.528 | -36.368 | 0.36782 | | JTs, rainbow, ten or higher | 21.591 | 57.528 | -35.937 | 0.37531 | | JTs, rainbow, nine or lower | 14.148 | 57.528 | -43.380 | 0.24593 | | JTs, two-tone | 23.147 | 57.528 | -34.381 | 0.40236 | | JTs, monotone | 26.518 | 57.528 | -31.010 | 0.46096 | | JTs, paired | 16.785 | 57.528 | -40.743 | 0.29177 | ## Does a shared suit matter? The suit split reads 79.40% for AA with a shared suit and 78.28% without one. AA does better with a shared suit, by 1.12 points. **AA against JTs by suit overlap, in percent** | Deals | Specific deals | Share of deals | AA wins | Ties | JTs wins | AA equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share a suit | 12 | 50.00 | 79.186 | 0.419 | 20.395 | 79.396 | | No shared suit | 12 | 50.00 | 78.115 | 0.336 | 21.549 | 78.283 | ## How often this matchup comes up The class pair covers 24 combinations of specific cards in a fixed seat order, 0.0015% of 1,624,350, and 48 (0.0030%) in either order. ## A worked example A $100 all-in from each player makes a $200 pot, and the exact equity says AA gets $157.68 of it on average and JTs gets $42.32.
