I am pretty new as far as learning about equity and I have been putting some pre flop hands into equilab and observing the equities.
I am confused why a higher pair gives you more equity against the same over cards. Take this example:
In the first situation with a pair of 9s against AKo I am getting 55.27% equity
In the second situation with a pair of 8s against AKo I am getting 55.16% equity
In the third situation with a pair of 7s against AKo I am getting 54.98% equity
I don't see anyway for it to make a difference and if anything the 9s should have lower equity because your chance of hitting the 9,10,J,Q,K straight is reduced because a King is out of play.
What am I missing here?
