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
The same shape as aces against kings, with one difference that matters at the table: an ace on the board helps neither hand, so the favourite stays the favourite on far more boards than it does when the overpair is aces.
