Against one random hand it wins 36.62% of showdowns and takes 39.35% of the pot. ## What this hand is Eight-four offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 8c4d, 8c4h, 8c4s, 8d4c, 8d4h, 8d4s, 8h4c, 8h4d, 8h4s, 8s4c, 8s4d — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 84o 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 | 36.62 | 5.45 | 39.35 | | 2 | 22.60 | 3.66 | 24.23 | | 3 | 16.04 | 3.10 | 17.41 | | 4 | 12.17 | 2.81 | 13.42 | | 5 | 9.68 | 2.63 | 10.85 | | 6 | 7.96 | 2.46 | 9.05 | | 7 | 6.78 | 2.32 | 7.80 | 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 | 14.00 | 13.81 | 0.38 | 6 | | KK | 13.86 | 13.66 | 0.40 | 6 | | QQ | 13.98 | 13.78 | 0.40 | 6 | | JJ | 13.75 | 13.55 | 0.42 | 6 | | TT | 13.49 | 13.25 | 0.48 | 6 | | 77 | 28.74 | 28.21 | 1.06 | 6 | | 22 | 47.28 | 46.00 | 2.56 | 6 | | AKs | 32.30 | 32.05 | 0.48 | 4 | | AKo | 33.92 | 33.69 | 0.46 | 12 | | AQs | 32.34 | 32.10 | 0.48 | 4 | | JTs | 30.20 | 29.62 | 1.17 | 4 | | 76s | 51.66 | 49.27 | 4.78 | 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/8s4h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [8c4d](8c4d.md) · [8c4h](8c4h.md) · [8c4s](8c4s.md) · [8d4c](8d4c.md) · [8d4h](8d4h.md) · [8d4s](8d4s.md) · [8h4c](8h4c.md) · [8h4d](8h4d.md) · [8h4s](8h4s.md) · [8s4c](8s4c.md) · [8s4d](8s4d.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
