Preflop equity
KK vs 98s
All in before the flop, KK (pocket kings) wins 78.1% of the pot against 98s (nine-eight suited), which takes the other 21.9%. A rout: 98s is drawing close to dead and needs to improve twice or hit a rare runout.
Equity counts ties as half. Figures are from 200,000 simulated deals per matchup, accurate to about a tenth of a percent, with card removal applied; the calculator below enumerates every runout exactly for specific suits.
