Playing around with an odds calculator, I've been trying to figure out how to create the closest coinflip situation on the turn in hold 'em that I can. Besides the obvious of having two of the same hands, I've run across this one.
QJs
AKh
Flop - 6s5sTh
Turn - 9c
At this point, AK unimproved is still ahead 55% to QJ's 45%. The only reason QJ has it's sweat, of course, is because of it's flush draw, open-ended straight draw and queen's and jack's as outs. A similar situation, with a flopped open-ended straight flush draw for QJs, still turns up as 45% on the turn. So, I ask you - are there any situations closer to 50-50 than this on the turn?
This is all just out of curiousity.
