How 65s compares

Suitedness is worth 34 extra shove spots here: 65s is a shove in 70 of the 225 solved spots, 65o in 36. From the 6-max Button 65s shoves up to 7bb and 65o up to 2bb.

Hand shape: as a connector it can make straights in both directions and being suited adds flush equity when it is called.

65s is an edge hand in 14 published spots, where the Nash solution mixes it: 6-max CO 10bb (68%), 9-max CO 10bb (68%), 6-max CO 8bb (76%), 9-max CO 8bb (76%), 6-max BTN 15bb (81%), and 9-max BTN 15bb (81%), plus 8 more. In a true Nash mix both options earn about the same against the equilibrium callers, so a consistent default costs little.
