| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTs | 17,201,000 | 193,000 | 10,003,000 |
| 64s | 10,003,000 | 193,000 | 17,201,000 |
16 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.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 64s | 0.584 | 2.739 | 1.593 | 1.713 |
The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.
