All-in before the flop, with five cards to come. Equity is each hand's average share of the pot — outright wins plus half of the split pots. Computed by enumerating all 1,712,304 possible boards with this site's own engine, so these are exact figures rather than a simulation.

Why the number looks like that

Compare this with the suited version: sharing a suit is worth roughly two to three percentage points. Real, and worth having, but far less than most players assume when they call a big bet "because it is suited".
