KTo leads 59.42% to 40.58% before the flop, counted exactly over every board, with the split by flop type and suit. Dealt all in against each other, KTo takes 59.42% of the pot on average and 76s takes the other 40.58%. ## KTo against 76s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for KTo against 76s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KTo | 59.112 | 0.619 | 40.269 | 59.421 | | 76s | 40.269 | 0.619 | 59.112 | 40.579 | One side is an offsuit hand, the other is a suited hand. Neither hand shares a rank with the other, so this is a contest of high cards, connection and suits. The lead is steady rather than large, and the flop still has plenty of say in who wins. The tie share is 0.62%: on those boards the pot is chopped and neither hand wins outright. The hand ranking puts KTo at 33 and 76s at 115 out of 169 starting hands. **Boards behind the percentages: 82,190,592 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KTo | 48,585,000 | 509,000 | 33,097,000 | | 76s | 33,097,000 | 509,000 | 48,585,000 | Exact total: 48 deals times 1,712,304 boards.
