Against one random hand it wins 40.61% of showdowns and takes 43.13% of the pot. ## What this hand is Eight-six offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 8c6d, 8c6s, 8d6c, 8d6h, 8d6s, 8h6c, 8h6d, 8h6s, 8s6c, 8s6d, 8s6h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 86o 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 | 40.61 | 5.05 | 43.13 | | 2 | 26.77 | 3.62 | 28.39 | | 3 | 19.82 | 3.18 | 21.23 | | 4 | 15.42 | 2.90 | 16.72 | | 5 | 12.66 | 2.75 | 13.90 | | 6 | 10.54 | 2.65 | 11.73 | | 7 | 9.11 | 2.54 | 10.24 | 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 | 17.35 | 17.19 | 0.33 | 6 | | KK | 16.91 | 16.74 | 0.33 | 6 | | QQ | 17.03 | 16.86 | 0.33 | 6 | | JJ | 16.70 | 16.52 | 0.36 | 6 | | TT | 15.58 | 15.36 | 0.43 | 6 | | 77 | 29.94 | 29.44 | 1.00 | 6 | | 22 | 49.80 | 48.56 | 2.48 | 6 | | AKs | 34.86 | 34.65 | 0.42 | 4 | | AKo | 36.67 | 36.47 | 0.40 | 12 | | AQs | 34.90 | 34.70 | 0.42 | 4 | | JTs | 32.28 | 31.72 | 1.12 | 4 | | 76s | 64.74 | 58.28 | 12.92 | 3 | 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/8c6h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [8c6d](8c6d.md) · [8c6s](8c6s.md) · [8d6c](8d6c.md) · [8d6h](8d6h.md) · [8d6s](8d6s.md) · [8h6c](8h6c.md) · [8h6d](8h6d.md) · [8h6s](8h6s.md) · [8s6c](8s6c.md) · [8s6d](8s6d.md) · [8s6h](8s6h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
