Two unpaired hands with all four ranks live: KQ vs T8s. KQ wins 61.9%, T8s wins 37.5%, and 0.7% of boards chop. The favorite isn't running away with it — 37.5% of the time T8s pairs up first or backs into the better runout — but higher cards making higher pairs is enough to keep KQ in front.
Translate that into a decision and it's simple pot-odds math: counting split pots as half, KQ carries 62.2% equity and T8s 37.8%. Against a pot-sized shove you need about 33% to call and about 25% versus a half-pot bet — so T8s is comfortably priced in to get it all-in here.
How you play KQ vs T8s depends on which side you hold. With KQ you're not crushing, so keep the pot controllable and take the 61.9% edge to showdown when you can; with T8s, your equity is enough to continue with initiative but thin enough that bloating the pot out of position is a trap.

Does the KQ 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.
