So, I guess I was calculating this all wrong. Ex: KK vs JT is 5:1 and that is not 80%?

5:1 means you win 5 and lose 1, so you win 5 out of 6, and 5/6 =~ 83.3%.

I think I get it: A pair vs 1 higher and 1 lower card is a 2.5:1 favorite. Therefore the pair wins 2.5 out of 3.5 times = 71.4% Thanks BurceZ!
