Why this matchup matters
A pair against two overcards is the classic coinflip, and JJ at 56.9% shows how close to even it really is. The pair is ahead right now and stays ahead on roughly two-thirds of flops; the overcards win by pairing either card, which happens about one time in three. When the pair is higher than both cards the picture changes completely, then the overcards are drawing to three outs twice rather than six.
