Against one random hand it wins 34.66% of showdowns and takes 37.37% of the pot. ## What this hand is Eight-three offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 8c3d, 8c3h, 8d3c, 8d3h, 8d3s, 8h3c, 8h3d, 8h3s, 8s3c, 8s3d, 8s3h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 83o share the numbers below. That stops being true the moment the board has suits, which is what the paid record covers. ## Equity against random opponents | Opponents | Win % | Tie % | Pot equity % | | --------- | ----- | ----- | ------------ | | 1 | 34.66 | 5.42 | 37.37 | | 2 | 20.73 | 3.64 | 22.35 | | 3 | 14.31 | 2.98 | 15.62 | | 4 | 10.64 | 2.67 | 11.81 | | 5 | 8.44 | 2.49 | 9.54 | | 6 | 6.80 | 2.38 | 7.85 | | 7 | 5.70 | 2.21 | 6.67 | Monte Carlo, 400,000 trials per row, seed 1 — same seed, same digits. "Pot equity" counts outright wins plus a share of split pots, which is the number to compare against pot odds. ## Head-to-head, exact Against the opponent's whole hand class, not one chosen pair of cards: every combination of it you do not block, each enumerated over all 1,712,304 boards. No sampling. "Combos" is how many were averaged. | Against | Hero pot equity % | Hero win % | Split % | Combos | | ------- | ----------------- | ---------- | ------- | ------ | | AA | 12.24 | 12.05 | 0.40 | 6 | | KK | 12.10 | 11.89 | 0.42 | 6 | | QQ | 12.22 | 12.02 | 0.41 | 6 | | JJ | 12.00 | 11.78 | 0.43 | 6 | | TT | 11.74 | 11.49 | 0.50 | 6 | | 77 | 27.92 | 27.39 | 1.07 | 6 | | 22 | 46.07 | 44.78 | 2.58 | 6 | | AKs | 30.97 | 30.72 | 0.50 | 4 | | AKo | 32.52 | 32.28 | 0.48 | 12 | | AQs | 31.01 | 30.76 | 0.50 | 4 | | JTs | 28.87 | 28.28 | 1.19 | 4 | | 76s | 50.25 | 47.85 | 4.80 | 4 | Averaging matters here. Against a single representative the answer shifts with the suits — J♣T♣ takes 17.77% against Q♣Q♦ but 18.89% against Q♠Q♦, because the shared club both blocks a flush and removes cards. Averaged over the class the figure is the same whichever suits you hold, which is what makes it quotable. ## What this page cannot tell you Pre-flop equity is not a strategy. It ignores stack depth, bet sizing, and how your opponents actually play. The verdict above is a conventional opening chart, not solver output. Equity against a random hand is also not equity against a range: an opponent who raises has better than random cards, and this page does not model that. ## The full record Equity against modelled ranges (top 5/10/20/40%), position-by-position guidance, and the suit-specific analysis for this exact combination: GET https://poketpoker.com/api/hands/8c3s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [8c3d](8c3d.md) · [8c3h](8c3h.md) · [8d3c](8d3c.md) · [8d3h](8d3h.md) · [8d3s](8d3s.md) · [8h3c](8h3c.md) · [8h3d](8h3d.md) · [8h3s](8h3s.md) · [8s3c](8s3c.md) · [8s3d](8s3d.md) · [8s3h](8s3h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
