AA vs AT mixes a pair with an overlapping overcard, so an out on each side is already in someone's hand. AA wins 89.9%, AT wins 8.8%, and 1.3% of boards chop. That blocking effect is why AA is a firmer 10.2-to-1 favorite than a straight pair-vs-two-overcards race.
Translate that into a decision and it's simple pot-odds math: counting split pots as half, AA carries 90.6% equity and AT 9.4%. Against a pot-sized shove you need about 33% to call and about 25% versus a half-pot bet — so AT needs real fold equity, not just its raw share, to justify stacking off.
How you play AA vs AT depends on which side you hold. With AA you're not crushing, so keep the pot controllable and take the 89.9% 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.
