AQ vs T9s is a four-live-card fight — no pair, no shared rank, just rank order and geometry. AQ wins 60.1%, T9s wins 39.5%, and 0.5% of boards chop. Whoever pairs first usually scoops, so the edge comes from AQ making the higher pair plus whatever straight and flush equity runs between the two hands.
Think in variance terms: 60.3% equity means AQ loses this all-in nearly 40 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 60.3% favorite is correct every time; the 39.7% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
In practice, AQ vs T9s rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: AQ wants to realize its 60.1% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while T9s should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 3.
