AJs against JTs: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJs | 67.655 | 1.719 | 30.626 | 68.515 |
| JTs | 30.626 | 1.719 | 67.655 | 31.485 |
This is a contest between two suited hands, AJs and JTs. Sharing a rank is the signature of a dominated hand, since the weaker hand is usually out-kicked when the shared rank shows up.
A lead of 37.04 points is large but not decisive: JTs still takes about 306 of every 1,000 deals. About 1.72% of boards chop the pot, which is why equity sits slightly above the win figure for both hands.
In the ranking of all 169 starting hands, AJs is number 11 and JTs is number 45.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| AJs | 13,902,000 | 353,000 | 6,293,000 |
| JTs | 6,293,000 | 353,000 | 13,902,000 |
Exact total: 12 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJs | 2.176 | 1.478 | 3.265 | 0.460 |
| JTs | 0.460 | 3.265 | 1.478 | 2.176 |
The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.

| Paired | 17.333 | 71.723 | 2.216 | 26.061 | 72.831 |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share a suit | 0 | 0.00 | not possible | not possible | not possible | not possible |
| No shared suit | 12 | 100.00 | 67.655 | 1.719 | 30.626 | 68.515 |
