TT against 65s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT | 77.954 | 0.492 | 21.554 | 78.200 |

Here a pocket pair (TT) meets a suited hand (65s). The pair outranks both of the other hand's cards, which is why the pair is a strong favorite.
TT is well ahead, and 65s needs a specific kind of board to catch up. 0.49% of boards are ties, so the equity of each hand is its win rate plus half of that.
Ranked by equity against a random hand, TT is number 5 of the 169 starting hands and 65s is number 128.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| 65s | 8,858,000 | 202,000 | 32,035,000 |
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.

| 65s | 0.279 | 4.640 | 1.283 | 3.587 |
In the last column, a pot-to-call ratio at or above the figure makes a call break even or better at this equity.
