Counting every board, the equity split is 65.20% for TT and 34.80% for ATs, so TT leads by 30.40 points. ## TT against ATs: the numbers **Exact preflop results for TT against ATs, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 64.161 | 2.076 | 33.763 | 65.199 | | ATs | 33.763 | 2.076 | 64.161 | 34.801 | One side is a pocket pair, the other is a suited hand. The pair already holds one of the other hand's ranks, and that overlap cuts down the cards the other hand can pair with. That is a clear edge, 65.20% to 34.80%, but ATs still wins often enough that one hand proves nothing. Ties are 2.08% of the outcomes here; each tied board gives both hands half the pot. By strength against a random hand, TT holds place 5 of 169 and ATs holds place 13. **Boards behind the percentages: 20,547,648 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 13,184,000 | 427,000 | 6,938,000 | | ATs | 6,938,000 | 427,000 | 13,184,000 | 12 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. **TT against ATs 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 | 1.873 | 1.559 | 2.962 | 0.534 | | ATs | 0.534 | 2.962 | 1.559 | 1.873 | The last column is the smallest pot odds, written as a pot-to-call ratio, at which a call breaks even with this equity. ## Who is ahead on which flops By flop texture, TT's equity runs from 60.93% on monotone flops up to 80.84% on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower). TT stays ahead on all five textures, but the swing between them is large, so how the flop looks matters a great deal. **TT against ATs by flop texture, in percent** | Flop | Share of flops | TT wins | Ties | ATs wins | TT equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.011 | 60.081 | 2.097 | 37.822 | 61.130 | | Rainbow, nine or lower | 7.771 | 79.098 | 3.484 | 17.418 | 80.840 | | Two-tone | 46.236 | 61.676 | 2.205 | 36.119 | 62.778 | | Monotone | 5.151 | 59.485 | 2.895 | 37.620 | 60.933 | | Paired | 17.831 | 70.712 | 0.862 | 28.426 | 71.143 | A rainbow flop shows three suits, a two-tone flop repeats one suit, a monotone flop is a single suit, and a paired flop repeats a rank. ## Compared with a random hand Relative to a random opponent, TT changes by -9.81 points (baseline 75.01%) and ATs by -29.80 points (baseline 64.60%). **TT and ATs here compared with each against a random hand, in percent** | Case | Equity here | Against a random hand | Change in points | Times the random-hand equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT, all flops | 65.199 | 75.012 | -9.813 | 0.86918 | | TT, rainbow, ten or higher | 61.130 | 75.012 | -13.882 | 0.81494 | | TT, rainbow, nine or lower | 80.840 | 75.012 | +5.828 | 1.07769 | | TT, two-tone | 62.778 | 75.012 | -12.234 | 0.83691 | | TT, monotone | 60.933 | 75.012 | -14.079 | 0.81231 | | TT, paired | 71.143 | 75.012 | -3.869 | 0.94842 | | ATs, all flops | 34.801 | 64.602 | -29.801 | 0.53870 | | ATs, rainbow, ten or higher | 38.870 | 64.602 | -25.732 | 0.60168 | | ATs, rainbow, nine or lower | 19.160 | 64.602 | -45.442 | 0.29659 | | ATs, two-tone | 37.222 | 64.602 | -27.380 | 0.57617 | | ATs, monotone | 39.067 | 64.602 | -25.535 | 0.60473 | | ATs, paired | 28.857 | 64.602 | -35.745 | 0.44669 | ## Does a shared suit matter? TT and ATs never overlap in suit in a legal deal, so the whole matchup sits in the no-shared-suit row. **TT against ATs by suit overlap, in percent** | Deals | Specific deals | Share of deals | TT wins | Ties | ATs wins | TT equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share a suit | 0 | 0.00 | not possible | not possible | not possible | not possible | | No shared suit | 12 | 100.00 | 64.161 | 2.076 | 33.763 | 65.199 | ## How often this matchup comes up Out of 1,624,350 ways to deal two seats two cards each, 12 are TT in one seat and ATs in the other (0.0007%); with the seats swapped too, 24 (0.0015%). ## A worked example Try it with money: two players each put in $100 and the whole board runs out every possible way.
