TT against 77: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT | 81.010 | 0.474 | 18.516 | 81.247 |
| 77 | 18.516 | 0.474 | 81.010 | 18.753 |
Both hands are pocket pairs: TT and 77. Both hands are pairs, so the bigger pair is ahead on every board that does not pair a card below it.
That is a heavy lead: 77 needs the board to help it on most runouts and still falls behind far more often than not. Ties are 0.47% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot.
Among the 169 starting hands, TT is number 5 and 77 is number 9 by strength against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

36 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards gives the exact total. The won, tied and lost counts are approximations from the five-decimal percentages, rounded to the nearest thousand.
| Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT | 4.332 | 1.234 | 5.401 | 0.231 |
| 77 | 0.231 | 5.401 | 1.234 | 4.332 |
The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call.
Who is ahead on which flops
Paired flops are the best for TT (86.36%); low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) are the worst (68.03%). TT stays ahead on all five textures, but the swing between them is large, so how the flop looks matters a great deal.
| Flop | Share of flops | TT wins | Ties | 77 wins | TT equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow, ten or higher | 24.595 | 83.947 | 0.287 | 15.766 | 84.091 |
| Rainbow, nine or lower | 6.314 | 67.762 | 0.542 | 31.696 | 68.033 |
| Two-tone | 46.363 | 80.061 | 0.329 | 19.610 | 80.225 |
| Monotone | 5.152 | 74.740 | 1.746 | 23.514 | 75.613 |
| Paired | 17.576 | 85.999 | 0.724 | 13.277 | 86.361 |
Read the flop types this way: rainbow has three suits, two-tone has two cards of one suit, monotone has three, and paired repeats a rank.
