66 vs AT is the classic preflop race — a pocket pair against two overcards (two unconnected overcards). The pair noses ahead: 66 wins 53.5%, AT wins 46.2%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The unpaired hand has six outs twice over (any Ace or Ten), and with a little extra straight equity the whole thing sits within a few points of a coin flip.
Here's the intuition behind 53.6% to 46.4%: 66 wins roughly 1 of every 2 times the chips go in, but the underdog cashing 46.4% of the time is exactly why you can't slow-play and let it draw for free.
How you play 66 vs AT depends on which side you hold. With 66 you're not crushing, so keep the pot controllable and take the 53.5% edge to showdown when you can; with AT, your equity is enough to continue with initiative but thin enough that bloating the pot out of position is a trap.
