AJ vs T8s is a four-live-card fight — no pair, no shared rank, just rank order and geometry. AJ wins 61.2%, T8s wins 38.4%, and 0.4% of boards chop. Whoever pairs first usually scoops, so the edge comes from AJ making the higher pair plus whatever straight and flush equity runs between the two hands.
At a final table the raw 61.4% / 38.6% split is only half the story — ICM bends it. As the 38.6% underdog, T8s 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, AJ vs T8s rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: AJ wants to realize its 61.2% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while T8s should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 3.

Does the AJ vs T8s probability change all-in preflop?
No. Once both hands are all-in preflop the odds are set by the cards alone — position, stack size and who bet first change nothing.
