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 identical to aces against kings: the underpair needs to hit its own rank, and its distance below the aces barely matters. What does matter is that a queen improving to a straight has more ways to do it than a king does.
