I noticed some weird stuff in this starting hand chart. For example, why are 95o and 94o listed higher than 96o in this chart? I know kicker probably doesn't come into play but even for the straight potential, 96o is surely better?

They both have the same value listed in the "EV" column so potentially the hands within one given EV (-.12 in this case) aren't well sorted.

Yeah that's definitely possible...trend I am noticing (ex J5s vs J6s) is that there doesnt seem to be much ev difference between four gapper and five gapper (which adds the value of having a up and down straight draw with the bottom straight draw being a sucker straight)...which kind of seems silly because it does add value to your hand in some situations where as I can't really think of many situations where J5s is better than J6s...? But w/e.

also keep in mind these are sim values EV from real tables. things may be a bit f-ed up bc of randomness or maybe even metagame difs?
