We compare an offsuit hand with a suited hand. Neither hand shares a rank with the other, so this is a contest of high cards, connection and suits.
The lead is steady rather than large, and the flop still has plenty of say in who wins. Of every 100 boards, about 0.44 are split pots, and the equity figures already include them.
In the ranking of all 169 starting hands, AJo is number 15 and T9s is number 64.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|

| T9s | 32,760,000 | 358,000 | 49,072,000 |
48 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards gives the exact total. The won, tied and lost counts are approximations from the five-decimal percentages, 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| T9s | 0.669 | 2.509 | 1.675 | 1.495 |

How this was computed
Each figure is a complete count over boards. Take the 48 specific deals, group them by suit pattern, deal all 1,712,304 boards against each, and compare the two seven-card hands. Equity counts a tie as half a win; the flop rows use every one of a board's ten flops.
