Put an overpair in against suited connectors and TT vs 65s is the result: TT wins 78.0%, 65s wins 21.6%, and 0.5% of boards chop, a 3.6-to-1 edge. Suited connectors are the single best class for cracking an overpair — two live ranks, straight potential off the Six-Five connectedness, and a flush draw stack up to about 1 win in 5, well above what an offsuit holding manages here.
Think in variance terms: 78.2% equity means TT loses this all-in nearly 22 times in 100, so even a "dominant" spot is a coin you'll see come up tails plenty. Getting it in as the 78.2% favorite is correct every time; the 21.8% that goes the other way is math, not a misplay.
With the overpair, bet big and bet now — 65s has the draws to make your life miserable on later streets, so charging it the maximum before the flush and straight cards arrive is the entire plan. From the connectors' side, the 21.6% equity is real but realized best in position with the chance to fold out the pair, not by stacking off blind.
