TT vs T8s mixes a pair with an overlapping overcard, so an out on each side is already in someone's hand. TT wins 82.2%, T8s wins 15.0%, and 2.8% of boards chop. That blocking effect is why TT is a firmer 5.5-to-1 favorite than a straight pair-vs-two-overcards race.
Translate that into a decision and it's simple pot-odds math: counting split pots as half, TT carries 83.6% equity and T8s 16.4%. Against a pot-sized shove you need about 33% to call and about 25% versus a half-pot bet — so T8s needs real fold equity, not just its raw share, to justify stacking off.
How you play TT vs T8s depends on which side you hold. With TT you're not crushing, so keep the pot controllable and take the 82.2% 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.
