Heads-up matchup math: is my KTo vs JJ preflop estimate roughly right?
I’m sanity-checking a heads-up preflop spot: offsuit K-Ten versus pocket Jacks. My back-of-the-envelope says KTo trails hard but still has some overcard and straight potential. For a neutral, math-first take, what’s a reasonable equity ballpark and any simple heuristics you use to remember it?
