The exact count puts QTo at 60.21% and 76s at 39.79% when the two hands see all five board cards. ## QTo against 76s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for QTo against 76s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QTo | 59.786 | 0.853 | 39.361 | 60.212 | | 76s | 39.361 | 0.853 | 59.786 | 39.788 | 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. That is a modest edge, the kind that shows up over many hands and is easy to miss in one. A split pot comes up on 0.85% of boards, so the wins and the equity differ by half of that. Among the 169 starting hands, QTo is number 47 and 76s is number 115 by strength against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 82,190,592 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | QTo | 49,138,000 | 701,000 | 32,351,000 | | 76s | 32,351,000 | 701,000 | 49,138,000 | Exact total: 48 deals times 1,712,304 boards.
