KJo against QTs: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KJo | 58.699 | 0.686 | 40.615 | 59.042 |
| QTs | 40.615 | 0.686 | 58.699 | 40.958 |
Here an offsuit hand (KJo) meets a suited hand (QTs). The two hands share no rank, which makes this a pure matchup of card strength, straight chances and flush chances.
That is a modest edge, the kind that shows up over many hands and is easy to miss in one. Ties are 0.69% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot.
Ranked by equity against a random hand, KJo is number 26 of the 169 starting hands and QTs is number 34.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJo | 48,245,000 | 564,000 | 33,382,000 |
| QTs | 33,382,000 | 564,000 | 48,245,000 |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KJo | 1.442 | 1.704 | 2.462 | 0.694 |
| QTs | 0.694 | 2.462 | 1.704 | 1.442 |
In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity.
