I'm trying to understand how range vs range equity works. For example I have a single hands A

and K

on J

against range{AA,QTs}
A

individually has equity 60.59% (given by propokertools/simulation)
K

individually has equity 33.93% (given by propokertools/simulation)

For range{ A

} vs range{AA,QTs} I would expect those numbers to be added and divided by 2 to get range vs range equity. That would be (60.59 + 33.93) / 2 = 47.25%

However propokertools/simulations gives me the result of 44.91%

Can anyone explain why my divided by 2 calculation is not correct here?

With AJ you face 7 combos total
With KJ you face 10 combos total

so it's
7/17*60.59 + 10/17*33.93

In summary, not equally weighted because of blocking/unblocking the opponents range
