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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KJs | 1.954 | 1.519 | 2.984 | 0.512 |
| T9o | 0.512 | 2.984 | 1.519 | 1.954 |
In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity.
