Counting every board, the equity split is 67.80% for QQ and 32.20% for A2s, so QQ leads by 35.60 points. ## QQ against A2s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for QQ against A2s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QQ | 67.571 | 0.457 | 31.972 | 67.799 | | A2s | 31.972 | 0.457 | 67.571 | 32.201 | One side is a pocket pair, the other is a suited hand. The pair is ahead of one card and behind the other, so the board decides how that plays out. That is a clear edge, 67.80% to 32.20%, but A2s still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. A split pot comes up on 0.46% of boards, so the wins and the equity differ by half of that. Place 3 of 169 belongs to QQ and place 46 belongs to A2s in the ranking against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 41,095,296 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QQ | 27,769,000 | 188,000 | 13,139,000 | | A2s | 13,139,000 | 188,000 | 27,769,000 | The total is exact: 24 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards. The three counts are approximate, worked out from the percentages to five decimals and rounded to the nearest thousand. **QQ against A2s read as odds** | Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QQ | 2.105 | 1.480 | 3.128 | 0.475 | | A2s | 0.475 | 3.128 | 1.480 | 2.105 | In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity. ## Who is ahead on which flops QQ prefers low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), where it holds 75.30%, and likes monotone flops least, where it holds 63.32%.
