Counting every board, the equity split is 69.26% for AQo and 30.74% for A7s, so AQo leads by 38.52 points. ## AQo against A7s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for AQo against A7s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AQo | 66.444 | 5.631 | 27.925 | 69.260 | | A7s | 27.925 | 5.631 | 66.444 | 30.740 | Here an offsuit hand (AQo) meets a suited hand (A7s). Sharing a rank is the signature of a dominated hand, since the weaker hand is usually out-kicked when the shared rank shows up. AQo is well ahead, and A7s needs a specific kind of board to catch up. The tie share is 5.63%: on those boards the pot is chopped and neither hand wins outright. Among the 169 starting hands, AQo is number 14 and A7s is number 24 by strength against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 61,642,944 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AQo | 40,958,000 | 3,471,000 | 17,214,000 | | A7s | 17,214,000 | 3,471,000 | 40,958,000 | The total is exact: 36 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards. The three counts are approximate, worked out from the percentages to five decimals and rounded to the nearest thousand. **AQo against A7s read as odds** | Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AQo | 2.253 | 1.505 | 3.581 | 0.444 | | A7s | 0.444 | 3.581 | 1.505 | 2.253 | 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 The flop changes the picture. AQo does best on rainbow flops topped by a ten or better, at 76.70%, and worst on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), at 55.99%.
