The two hands share a rank, and the one with the better other card dominates: it wins most kicker battles when that shared rank hits. AQs is well ahead, and A7s needs a specific kind of board to catch up. Ties are part of the picture: 5.38% of boards end in a split pot, and each side counts that as half a win. The hand ranking puts AQs at 10 and A7s at 24 out of 169 starting hands. **Boards behind the percentages: 20,547,648 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AQs | 13,939,000 | 1,105,000 | 5,503,000 | | A7s | 5,503,000 | 1,105,000 | 13,939,000 | The total is exact: 12 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards.
