I would like some clarity on what Pro Poker Tools hand rankings mean.
I know it's addressed in some other threads but I'd like to focus on just that here.
The basic question is how or does the hand ranking correspond to a percentile strength for the hand?
For example, KhTd7s2s is cited buy Emty as a fold in the BB defense vs SB portion of the course This is a spot where one should (GTO baseline should :)) defend 56.6% of the time.
KhTd7s2s is ranked 81 in the 6 handed iterative.
KhTd7s4s is ranked 52 in the 6 handed iterative.
Does KhTd7s4s become a defend?
And if that is all true (ignoring nuances) this suddenly sounds like a fun over/under betting game.

Am interested. Discord or here I don't mind.

Thank you for the answers.
I would love to see a HU solver solution.
My question, more clearly, is while I folded this and based strictly on hand strength vs a random hand this is a fold, is this a defend against this specific player.

This is not intended as a hand history. This is the first hand in a $1 PLO HU sit and go on 888/Pacific. I am planning to go through every hand in the sit and go and make decisions about what I should or should not have done at the time.
I have great difficulty figuring out if I'm right or wrong or more accurately, when I am right or wrong. I also have great difficulty figuring out if I am running bad or playing bad. So I'm going to go through these and try to understand every point along the way.
I would like criticism of my after-the-fact thinking here. The stats below are taken from HM2 and are for the entire sng. I would not actually have know these things about the player on hand #1.

My thinking:
A raises the button to 50 at blind level 10/20. So raises to 2.5 BB
Z folds 7dTc5h3h
Minimum defense frequency (MDF) describes the portion of your range that you must continue with when facing a bet in order to remain unexploitable by bluffs.
MDF = pot size/(pot size+ bet size)
Z should be defending with 37.5% of hands. (30/(30+50)*100)
ProPoker tools ranks this hand (7dTc5h3h) as 85% vs a random hand. AAJT is ranked 1.13 % so the 85% must mean it's bad - way down the list.
Based on that this is correctly a fold.
Propoker tools has this hand vs a 52% pre flop raising range as having 40.40% equity. Against that range this should be a defend.
I study in a very similar way to this but I also, where appropriate, build a google sheet on the numbers on the lesson.
For example, with cold calling in position I looked at the gto baseline as taught, compared it to my actual historical record and found two extremes:
I have called 7.15% MP vs EP which is way more than the GTO baseline of 4%. The sample size is not great but drilling down into the actual hands I've found a lot of QQxx that I should have been folding and a few other things. That becomes a heuristic for me to fold QQxx more often when it's marginal in that spot.
I'm also intending to build a HUD for each lesson and then do a focus session using only that HUD. I haven't tried this yet but I think it might be valuable.
For example, for Cold Calling in position, in that video at minute 13:34 I would build a HUD that shows only RFI by position and VPIP. No 3bet data, etc.
