The math is not mathing...

Hi guys,

So while randomly typing to the A.I i noticed something. I presented a situation where AK and KQ (suited for consistency) end up in a fight againts JJ. Now for some reason the calculators give AK a small edge over KQ in a heads up fight vs JJ (individually again).

I kept arguing and arguing, both grok and chatgpt (didn't try gemini) kept arguing the point, but kept giving me flawed evidence. I kept asking for it to show me a board where AK would still win and the KQ would lose if we swapped the Ace for a Queen vs Jacks (or something similar).

Both A.I's couldn't provide me an accurate example, but were firm on the small edge for AK. Meaning over a million games of AK vs JJ and KQ vs JJ, AK would win 0.3-0.4% more often than KQ.

I asked about straights, if maybe AK somehow makes more straights more easily than KQ, but the A.I says that's not the case.

They insist that because some Poker calculators gave the edge for AK, that was the ultimate truth, even though both hands overcard JJ meaning in a way they are symmetrical.

I also asked are the odds different of AA KK and QQ vs JJ (again all 1 on 1) and the A.I's still say the odds are not the same for each individual overpair...

Can anyone shed some light here>
