AT vs KJ is a four-live-card fight — no pair, no shared rank, just rank order and geometry. AT wins 59.3%, KJ wins 40.3%, and 0.5% of boards chop. Whoever pairs first usually scoops, so the edge comes from AT making the higher pair plus whatever straight and flush equity runs between the two hands.
Think in variance terms: 59.5% equity means AT loses this all-in nearly 41 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 59.5% favorite is correct every time; the 40.5% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
In practice, AT vs KJ rewards aggression from the favorite and caution from the dog: AT wants to realize its 59.3% edge by getting value and denying free cards, while KJ should lean on fold equity and position rather than hoping to win the pot at showdown about 1 time in 2.
