AJs against KTs: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AJs | 61.524 | 0.507 | 37.969 | 61.778 |
| KTs | 37.969 | 0.507 | 61.524 | 38.222 |
Both hands are suited hands: AJs and KTs. With no overlap in ranks, every card that pairs one hand is a card that does not pair the other.
AJs is ahead, but KTs is far from dead: it takes 380 of every 1,000 deals outright. Ties are part of the picture: 0.51% of boards end in a split pot, and each side counts that as half a win.
For context, AJs sits at number 11 of 169 starting hands and KTs at number 22 when each is run against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| AJs | 16,856,000 | 139,000 | 10,402,000 |
| KTs | 10,402,000 | 139,000 | 16,856,000 |
Exact total: 16 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 | 1.616 | 1.625 | 2.634 | 0.619 |
| KTs | 0.619 | 2.634 | 1.625 | 1.616 |
The last column is the smallest pot odds, written as a pot-to-call ratio, at which a call breaks even with this equity.
Who is ahead on which flops
The flop changes the picture. AJs does best on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), at 73.86%, and worst on rainbow flops topped by a ten or better, at 57.87%. AJs stays ahead on all five textures, but the swing between them is large, so how the flop looks matters a great deal.
| Flop | Share of flops | AJs wins | Ties | KTs wins | AJs equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.138 | 57.816 | 0.115 | 42.069 | 57.873 |
| Rainbow, nine or lower | 7.771 | 73.415 | 0.893 | 25.692 | 73.861 |
| Two-tone | 46.727 | 60.760 | 0.271 | 38.969 | 60.895 |
| Monotone | 5.273 | 56.879 | 3.413 | 39.708 | 58.585 |
| Paired | 17.091 | 64.663 | 0.608 | 34.729 | 64.967 |
A rainbow flop shows three suits, a two-tone flop repeats one suit, a monotone flop is a single suit, and a paired flop repeats a rank.
