| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JTo | 60.979 | 1.181 | 37.840 | 61.570 |

Here an offsuit hand (JTo) meets a suited hand (53s). With no overlap in ranks, every card that pairs one hand is a card that does not pair the other.
JTo is ahead, but 53s is far from dead: it takes 378 of every 1,000 deals outright. Ties are 1.18% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot.
Ranked by equity against a random hand, JTo is number 57 of the 169 starting hands and 53s is number 146.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| JTo | 50,119,000 | 971,000 | 31,101,000 |
| 53s | 31,101,000 | 971,000 | 50,119,000 |
Exact total: 48 deals times 1,712,304 boards. The other three counts come from the five-decimal percentages and are rounded to the nearest thousand, so read them as approximate.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JTo | 1.602 | 1.640 | 2.643 | 0.624 |
| 53s | 0.624 | 2.643 | 1.640 | 1.602 |
The final column gives the least the pot must offer for each unit called for a call to break even at this equity.
Who is ahead on which flops
JTo prefers rainbow flops topped by a ten or better, where it holds 69.24%, and likes low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) least, where it holds 39.41%. 53s takes over on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), so the favorite before the flop is the underdog on those boards.
