Before any board card is dealt, TT holds 64.88% equity against JTo, which leaves JTo with 35.12%. ## TT against JTo: the numbers **Exact preflop results for TT against JTo, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 63.930 | 1.897 | 34.173 | 64.878 | | JTo | 34.173 | 1.897 | 63.930 | 35.122 | The matchup pits a pocket pair against an offsuit 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. The lead is steady rather than large, and the flop still has plenty of say in who wins. Ties are part of the picture: 1.90% of boards end in a split pot, and each side counts that as half a win. Place 5 of 169 belongs to TT and place 57 belongs to JTo in the ranking against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 61,642,944 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TT | 39,408,000 | 1,169,000 | 21,065,000 | | JTo | 21,065,000 | 1,169,000 | 39,408,000 | The board total is exact, 36 deals at 1,712,304 boards each. Won, tied and lost counts are rounded to the nearest thousand from the five-decimal percentages. **TT against JTo 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 | 1.847 | 1.564 | 2.926 | 0.541 | | JTo | 0.541 | 2.926 | 1.564 | 1.847 | 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 Split by what the flop looks like, TT peaks at 78.16% on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) and bottoms out at 58.82% on monotone flops. 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 JTo by flop texture, in percent** | Flop | Share of flops | TT wins | Ties | JTo wins | TT equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rainbow, ten or higher | 23.053 | 57.898 | 2.330 | 39.772 | 59.063 | | Rainbow, nine or lower | 7.771 | 77.334 | 1.647 | 21.019 | 78.157 | | Two-tone | 46.215 | 62.248 | 2.060 | 35.692 | 63.278 | | Monotone | 5.130 | 57.609 | 2.416 | 39.975 | 58.817 | | Paired | 17.831 | 72.063 | 0.877 | 27.060 | 72.502 | Flop types: rainbow means three different suits, two-tone means one suit twice, monotone means one suit three times, paired means a repeated rank. ## Compared with a random hand How much does the opponent matter?

TT does better with no shared suit, by 0.26 points. **TT against JTo by suit overlap, in percent** | Deals | Specific deals | Share of deals | TT wins | Ties | JTo wins | TT equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share a suit | 24 | 66.67 | 63.826 | 1.932 | 34.242 | 64.792 | | No shared suit | 12 | 33.33 | 64.136 | 1.827 | 34.037 | 65.050 | ## How often this matchup comes up You will meet this exact matchup 0.0044% of the time in a random heads-up deal: 72 of 1,624,350, counting either seat order. ## A worked example To see what the equity is worth, imagine $100 each in a $200 pot.
