J9s against T9s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| J9s | 67.136 | 4.846 | 28.018 | 69.559 |
| T9s | 28.018 | 4.846 | 67.136 | 30.441 |
Each side holds one of the suited hands: J9s and T9s. Sharing a rank is the signature of a dominated hand, since the weaker hand is usually out-kicked when the shared rank shows up.
That is a clear edge, 69.56% to 30.44%, but T9s still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. A split pot comes up on 4.85% of boards, so the wins and the equity differ by half of that.
The hand ranking puts J9s at 55 and T9s at 64 out of 169 starting hands.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| J9s | 13,795,000 | 996,000 | 5,757,000 |
| T9s | 5,757,000 | 996,000 | 13,795,000 |
The board total is exact, 12 deals at 1,712,304 boards each. Won, tied and lost counts are rounded to the nearest thousand from the five-decimal percentages.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| J9s | 2.285 | 1.490 | 3.569 | 0.438 |
| T9s | 0.438 | 3.569 | 1.490 | 2.285 |
The last column is the smallest pot odds, written as a pot-to-call ratio, at which a call breaks even with this equity.
