JJ against 64s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JJ | 79.343 | 0.426 | 20.231 | 79.556 |
| 64s | 20.231 | 0.426 | 79.343 | 20.444 |
The first hand is a pocket pair; the second is a suited hand. Here a pair faces two cards that are both smaller, so the other hand needs to pair up and still be behind.
A lead of 59.12 points is large but not decisive: 64s still takes about 202 of every 1,000 deals. Ties are 0.43% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot.
Ranked by equity against a random hand, JJ is number 4 of the 169 starting hands and 64s is number 138.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| JJ | 32,606,000 | 175,000 | 8,314,000 |
| 64s | 8,314,000 | 175,000 | 32,606,000 |
24 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards gives the exact total. The won, tied and lost counts are approximations from the five-decimal percentages, rounded to the nearest thousand.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JJ | 3.891 | 1.260 | 4.943 | 0.257 |
| 64s | 0.257 | 4.943 | 1.260 | 3.891 |
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
By flop texture, JJ's equity runs from 65.01% on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) up to 85.41% on rainbow flops topped by a ten or better. JJ 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 | JJ wins | Ties | 64s wins | JJ equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow, ten or higher | 24.595 | 85.314 | 0.184 | 14.502 | 85.406 |
| Rainbow, nine or lower | 6.314 | 64.580 | 0.851 | 34.569 | 65.005 |
| Two-tone | 46.545 | 77.567 | 0.303 | 22.130 | 77.718 |
| Monotone | 5.212 | 72.960 | 2.435 | 24.605 | 74.177 |
| Paired | 17.334 | 82.937 | 0.343 | 16.720 | 83.108 |
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.
