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
Slightly worse for the big cards than ace-king is, because a jack on the board now gives the pair a set while the queen has one fewer clean overcard above it.
