TT vs QJ is the classic preflop race — a pocket pair against two overcards (connected overcards). The pair noses ahead: TT wins 54.9%, QJ wins 44.7%, and 0.4% of boards chop. The unpaired hand has six outs twice over (any Queen or Jack), and with its straight gappers live too the whole thing sits within a few points of a coin flip.
Translate that into a decision and it's simple pot-odds math: counting split pots as half, TT carries 55.1% equity and QJ 44.9%. Against a pot-sized shove you need about 33% to call and about 25% versus a half-pot bet — so QJ is comfortably priced in to get it all-in here.
How you play TT vs QJ depends on which side you hold. With TT you're not crushing, so keep the pot controllable and take the 54.9% edge to showdown when you can; with QJ, your equity is enough to continue with initiative but thin enough that bloating the pot out of position is a trap.

Does the TT vs QJ 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.
