JJ against A6s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JJ | 68.271 | 0.379 | 31.350 | 68.460 |
| A6s | 31.350 | 0.379 | 68.271 | 31.540 |
Here a pocket pair (JJ) meets a suited hand (A6s). The pair sits between the other hand's two cards: one is higher and one is lower, so the pair is exposed to the higher card.
A lead of 36.92 points is large but not decisive: A6s still takes about 313 of every 1,000 deals. Of every 100 boards, about 0.38 are split pots, and the equity figures already include them.
JJ ranks number 4 of 169 starting hands, and A6s ranks number 31, by equity against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| A6s | 12,883,000 | 156,000 | 28,056,000 |
The total is exact: 24 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.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |

| A6s | 0.461 | 3.190 | 1.465 | 2.171 |
