If JJ and 76s get all the chips in before the flop, JJ owns 78.26% of the pot in the long run and 76s owns 21.74%. ## JJ against 76s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for JJ against 76s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JJ | 78.065 | 0.379 | 21.556 | 78.255 | | 76s | 21.556 | 0.379 | 78.065 | 21.745 | JJ is a pocket pair and 76s 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. JJ is well ahead, and 76s needs a specific kind of board to catch up. A split pot comes up on 0.38% of boards, so the wins and the equity differ by half of that. By strength against a random hand, JJ holds place 4 of 169 and 76s holds place 115. **Boards behind the percentages: 41,095,296 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | JJ | 32,081,000 | 156,000 | 8,859,000 | | 76s | 8,859,000 | 156,000 | 32,081,000 | The total is exact: 24 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards.
