Default Which two Texas Hold \'em hands are closest to being 50/50?

I have done a lot of testing at http://www.pokertips.org/simulator/simulator.php but I definitely feel like I haven't covered all of the grey areas. Has anyone ever devoted any time to this subject? These are the two closest examples I have found. Nothing else was nearly as close.

A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] vs. 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

49.7161% -- 49.7012%

Roughly .0149% difference


2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] vs. 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

48.9612% -- 48.9436%

Roughly .0176 difference


Who can beat 'em? I challenge you.

Hand 1: 50.000% 02.17% 47.83% 37210 818942.00 { AcAs }


...or any two hands holding the same cards with 4 different suits between them.... you didn't specify the uniqueness of the cards so I win [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You could have at least said 6h 7c, 6c 7h.
