It looks like its close miles. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Math:

hero will be dealt
AA 0.45%
KK 0.45%
QQ 0.45%
AKs 0.3%
AQs 0.3%
KQs 0.3%

hero will play 2.25% of his starting hands.

hero will be in the big blind 16.6% of the time
hero will be in the small blind 16.6% of the time

if hero starts on the button and plays 1000 orbits, he'll pay 1500 small bets in blinds (750 big bets).

1000 orbits = 6000 hands.

hero will play 135 of those hands.

hero will win a min/max of 72 big bets when he plays and shows down a winner (60 of which are other people's money).

hero will lose 12 big bets when he plays and shows down a loser.

breakeven point (with blinds)
of the 135 hands
60(33 winners)-12(102 losers)=756 - 750 in blinds = <font color="green">(6bb)</font>

so the breakeven win percentage is about 33/135 or 24%

The means the hero has to make up about 7.5% equity based on the strength of his cards. (24% - the 16.6% we'd have if we played every hand like everyone else.)

does that range have 24% equity vs five opponents?
