AJo against T9o: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJo | 63.379 | 0.413 | 36.208 | 63.586 |

Among the 169 starting hands, AJo is number 15 and T9o is number 78 by strength against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| AJo | 156,275,000 | 1,018,000 | 89,279,000 |
| T9o | 89,279,000 | 1,018,000 | 156,275,000 |
Exact total: 144 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJo | 1.746 | 1.578 | 2.762 | 0.573 |
| T9o | 0.573 | 2.762 | 1.578 | 1.746 |
The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.
