JTo against T8s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JTo | 66.672 | 5.026 | 28.302 | 69.185 |
| T8s | 28.302 | 5.026 | 66.672 | 30.815 |
We compare an offsuit hand with a suited hand. Sharing a rank is the signature of a dominated hand, since the weaker hand is usually out-kicked when the shared rank shows up.
A lead of 38.38 points is large but not decisive: T8s still takes about 283 of every 1,000 deals. The tie share is 5.03%: on those boards the pot is chopped and neither hand wins outright.
For context, JTo sits at number 57 of 169 starting hands and T8s at number 73 when each is run against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| T8s | 17,446,000 | 3,098,000 | 41,099,000 |
Exact total: 36 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| JTo | 2.245 | 1.500 | 3.533 | 0.445 |
| T8s | 0.445 | 3.533 | 1.500 | 2.245 |
The last column is the smallest pot odds, written as a pot-to-call ratio, at which a call breaks even with this equity.
