Against one random hand it wins 34.07% of showdowns and takes 36.78% of the pot. ## What this hand is Eight-two offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 8c2d, 8c2h, 8c2s, 8d2c, 8d2s, 8h2c, 8h2d, 8h2s, 8s2c, 8s2d, 8s2h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 82o 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 | 34.07 | 5.43 | 36.78 | | 2 | 20.18 | 3.57 | 21.76 | | 3 | 13.83 | 2.90 | 15.09 | | 4 | 10.28 | 2.57 | 11.41 | | 5 | 8.11 | 2.37 | 9.15 | | 6 | 6.62 | 2.20 | 7.59 | | 7 | 5.56 | 2.04 | 6.44 | 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 | 12.03 | 0.41 | 6 | | KK | 12.10 | 11.88 | 0.43 | 6 | | QQ | 12.22 | 12.01 | 0.42 | 6 | | JJ | 11.99 | 11.77 | 0.44 | 6 | | TT | 11.73 | 11.47 | 0.51 | 6 | | 77 | 27.50 | 26.96 | 1.08 | 6 | | 22 | 32.97 | 30.92 | 4.09 | 3 | | AKs | 30.91 | 30.65 | 0.52 | 4 | | AKo | 32.46 | 32.22 | 0.49 | 12 | | AQs | 30.95 | 30.70 | 0.51 | 4 | | JTs | 28.82 | 28.22 | 1.20 | 4 | | 76s | 49.54 | 47.14 | 4.81 | 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/8d2h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [8c2d](8c2d.md) · [8c2h](8c2h.md) · [8c2s](8c2s.md) · [8d2c](8d2c.md) · [8d2s](8d2s.md) · [8h2c](8h2c.md) · [8h2d](8h2d.md) · [8h2s](8h2s.md) · [8s2c](8s2c.md) · [8s2d](8s2d.md) · [8s2h](8s2h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
