I downloaded Equilab (Pokerstars send me an email that I should not have it open while I am playing). I put QTo on the SB and random on the BB and it shows that QT wins 57.29% of the time. I am I doing something wrong?
No, you're just misunderstanding what Equilab is telling you. QT has 57% equity, but that doesn't mean 43% of hands are stronger than it. For example, AA crushes QTo while QTo doesn't crush plenty of hands it's ahead of (for example, even a hand like 54s does ok vs QT despite being behind).

My question came up from playing HyperTurbo HUSNG and studying Nash Equilibrium Push or Fold tables. I noticed that QTo has "20+" blinds for the pusher, while K6o has "15.1" meaning that K6o is weaker for a push.

At the same time I see that K6o beats QTo by 55.85%. Here K6o looks stronger than QTo. Since K6o beats QTo why it is weaker in Nash tables?
Because it's not a question of how hands do against each other, it's a question of how hands do against the calling range. QTo does much better than K6o against 66, 77, 88, 99, blocks TT, and also does better against hands like Q2-Q9 and K7-K9. It will also do better against a whole bunch of middling stuff like 98o and 76s.
On the flip side, K6o only does much better than QTo against hands like JJ, QQ, and QJ, and maybe K2o-K5o.
Raw equity against each other isn't what nash considers at all.
Also @ whatever mod moved this to the HUNL forum, this is definitely more appropriate for either BQ (where it was originally posted) or the husng forum (given it's discussing shallow nash stuff).
