**Exact preflop results for T8s against 75s, in percent**

| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

T8s ranks number 73 of 169 starting hands, and 75s ranks number 124, by equity against a random hand.

| 75s | 9,563,000 | 507,000 | 17,327,000 |

| 75s | 0.558 | 2.865 | 1.581 | 1.791 |
