This may be really dumb and really easy, and I apologize if it gets solved in 2 minutes. I may even get YSSCKY'd. I came up with it last night. There is more than one correct answer.

Each variable represents a two card preflop poker hand, in a standard texas holdem game.

Case 1: Hand A versus Hand X
Case 2: Hand B versus Hand X

Hand A has a better chance of winning against Hand X than Hand B has of winning against Hand X.

a Player with hand B against hand X has a higher expected value than a player with Hand A against Hand X.

Solve for A, B, and X. (There is more than one possible combination).

Edit: In every case, all players are all-in preflop.
