Default Re: 10/20 AK preflop

No it isn't. Equity is a pretty good measure of hand strength, so let's see what comes up when we plug 65s into the equation. We are about 3:1 against flopping a money making hand (on average if you played it out an infinate number of times) with it. Even if you just play for the home run, it looks like an easy call getting 4:1 preflop. 3:1 probably isn't enough to call preflop though.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 18.0095 % 17.06% 00.95% { 88+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KJo+ }
Hand 2: 28.6597 % 26.31% 02.35% { JJ+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 3: 29.9065 % 27.58% 02.33% { JJ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 4: 23.4244 % 23.36% 00.07% { 65s }

As you showed earlier, our equity is piss poor with AKo.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 18.1721 % 17.07% 01.10% { 88+, ATs+, KTs+, QJs, ATo+, KJo+ }
Hand 2: 32.1098 % 28.36% 03.75% { JJ+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 3: 34.0922 % 29.93% 04.16% { JJ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 4: 15.6259 % 09.25% 06.38% { AKo }
