66 vs AQ is a race in the truest sense: made hand now (66) versus the bigger drawing hand (AQ). 66 wins 53.8%, AQ wins 45.8%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The pair is ahead on a blank board but every Ace or Queen flips it, and the occasional straight adds a sliver more — which is why it plays out a hair off 50/50.
At a final table the raw 54.0% / 46.0% split is only half the story — ICM bends it. As the 46.0% underdog, AQ pays an extra survival premium, so the chip-EV "close enough" call can be a clear ICM fold. The pure equity sets the floor; the payout ladder sets the real price.
In practice, 66 vs AQ rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: 66 wants to realize its 53.8% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while AQ should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 2.
