In equity, QQ against A7s stands at 68.12% to 31.88%, a gap of 36.24 points. ## QQ against A7s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for QQ against A7s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QQ | 67.928 | 0.381 | 31.691 | 68.119 | | A7s | 31.691 | 0.381 | 67.928 | 31.881 | The first hand is a pocket pair; the second is a suited hand. The pair is ahead of one card and behind the other, so the board decides how that plays out. A lead of 36.24 points is large but not decisive: A7s still takes about 317 of every 1,000 deals. About 0.38% of boards chop the pot, which is why equity sits slightly above the win figure for both hands. For context, QQ sits at number 3 of 169 starting hands and A7s at number 24 when each is run 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 | 27,915,000 | 157,000 | 13,024,000 | | A7s | 13,024,000 | 157,000 | 27,915,000 | The board total is exact, 24 deals at 1,712,304 boards each. Won, tied and lost counts are rounded to the nearest thousand from the five-decimal percentages. **QQ against A7s 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 | 2.137 | 1.472 | 3.155 | 0.468 | | A7s | 0.468 | 3.155 | 1.472 | 2.137 | 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 Low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) are the best for QQ (75.26%); monotone flops are the worst (63.56%). QQ stays ahead on all five textures. **QQ against A7s by flop texture, in percent** | Flop | Share of flops | QQ wins | Ties | A7s wins | QQ equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.867 | 67.871 | 0.161 | 31.968 | 67.952 | | Rainbow, nine or lower | 7.042 | 74.817 | 0.887 | 24.296 | 75.261 | | Two-tone | 46.545 | 66.182 | 0.303 | 33.515 | 66.334 | | Monotone | 5.212 | 62.359 | 2.397 | 35.244 | 63.557 | | Paired | 17.334 | 71.570 | 0.083 | 28.347 | 71.611 | Rainbow flops have three suits, two-tone flops repeat one suit, monotone flops are all one suit, and paired flops repeat a rank. ## Compared with a random hand A random hand would give QQ 79.93% and A7s 60.98%.

Suit overlap shows up in the numbers. With a suit in common QQ has 68.42% equity, and with none in common it has 67.82%. QQ does better with a shared suit, by 0.60 points. **QQ against A7s by suit overlap, in percent** | Deals | Specific deals | Share of deals | QQ wins | Ties | A7s wins | QQ equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share a suit | 12 | 50.00 | 68.207 | 0.423 | 31.370 | 68.419 | | No shared suit | 12 | 50.00 | 67.649 | 0.339 | 32.012 | 67.818 | ## How often this matchup comes up How often does it happen? 24 of the 1,624,350 ordered deals (0.0015%) are QQ against A7s, and 48 (0.0030%) if either hand may sit in either seat. ## A worked example Say each player puts $100 in before the flop, making a $200 pot.
