KJs vs JTo: preflop equity

KJs against JTo: the numbers

KJs, a suited hand, plays JTo, an offsuit 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.

That is a clear edge, 73.32% to 26.68%, but JTo still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. Split pots make up 2.74% of the boards, and both equity figures count them as half a win each.

For context, KJs sits at number 20 of 169 starting hands and JTo at number 57 when each is run against a random hand.

36 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards gives the exact total. The won, tied and lost counts are approximations from the five-decimal percentages, rounded to the nearest thousand.

The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.
