TT leads 56.95% to 43.05% before the flop, counted exactly over every board, with the split by flop type and suit. If TT and AQo get all the chips in before the flop, TT owns 56.95% of the pot in the long run and AQo owns 43.05%. ## TT against AQo: the numbers **Exact preflop results for TT against AQo, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 56.757 | 0.384 | 42.859 | 56.949 | | AQo | 42.859 | 0.384 | 56.757 | 43.051 | TT and AQo are a pocket pair and an offsuit hand, in that order. One hand holds a pair and the other holds two cards that both outrank it, which keeps the equity closer than most people expect. That is a modest edge, the kind that shows up over many hands and is easy to miss in one. Split pots make up 0.38% of the boards, and both equity figures count them as half a win each. By strength against a random hand, TT holds place 5 of 169 and AQo holds place 14. **Boards behind the percentages: 123,285,888 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 69,973,000 | 473,000 | 52,839,000 | | AQo | 52,839,000 | 473,000 | 69,973,000 | Exact total: 72 deals times 1,712,304 boards. The other three counts come from the five-decimal percentages and are rounded to the nearest thousand, so read them as approximate. **TT against AQo read as odds** | Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 1.323 | 1.762 | 2.333 | 0.756 | | AQo | 0.756 | 2.333 | 1.762 | 1.323 | The final column gives the least the pot must offer for each unit called for a call to break even at this equity. ## Who is ahead on which flops TT prefers low rainbow flops (nine high or lower), where it holds 74.42%, and likes rainbow flops topped by a ten or better least, where it holds 50.10%.
