JTs against T9o: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JTs | 71.619 | 4.995 | 23.386 | 74.117 |
| T9o | 23.386 | 4.995 | 71.619 | 25.883 |
JTs and T9o are a suited hand and an offsuit hand, in that order. The two hands share a rank, and the one with the better other card dominates: it wins most kicker battles when that shared rank hits.
That is a clear edge, 74.12% to 25.88%, but T9o still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. Ties are 5.00% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot.
By strength against a random hand, JTs holds place 45 of 169 and T9o holds place 78.

| T9o | 0.349 | 4.276 | 1.396 | 2.864 |
The final column gives the least the pot must offer for each unit called for a call to break even at this equity.
