TT against A9s: the numbers
| Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TT | 68.347 | 0.382 | 31.271 | 68.538 |
| A9s | 31.271 | 0.382 | 68.347 | 31.462 |
The first hand is a pocket pair; the second is a suited hand. The pair sits between the other hand's two cards: one is higher and one is lower, so the pair is exposed to the higher card.
A lead of 37.08 points is large but not decisive: A9s still takes about 313 of every 1,000 deals. Of every 100 boards, about 0.38 are split pots, and the equity figures already include them.
Place 5 of 169 belongs to TT and place 18 belongs to A9s in the ranking against a random hand.
| Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about |

| A9s | 12,851,000 | 157,000 | 28,087,000 |
24 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.

| A9s | 0.459 | 3.198 | 1.463 | 2.178 |
