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
Nearly always a chop, but not quite. The suited hand makes a flush on any board with three hearts; the offsuit hand needs four of one of its suits on the board to do the same, which is far rarer. Everything else — pairs, straights, two pair — is shared. The gap between the two numbers is exactly what being suited is worth when everything else is equal.
