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

Almost the same as against queens. The underpair being smaller hardly helps the big cards, because what decides the hand is whether an ace or a king appears, not how high the pair is.
