Against one random hand it wins 56.21% of showdowns and takes 58.11% of the pot. ## What this hand is Ace-three of clubs. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Ad3d, Ah3h, As3s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class A3s 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 | 56.21 | 3.80 | 58.11 | | 2 | 37.64 | 4.07 | 39.58 | | 3 | 28.43 | 3.83 | 30.23 | | 4 | 23.00 | 3.68 | 24.70 | | 5 | 19.54 | 3.47 | 21.14 | | 6 | 17.13 | 3.31 | 18.65 | | 7 | 15.25 | 3.16 | 16.70 | 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 | 12.51 | 11.86 | 1.30 | 3 | | KK | 32.61 | 32.38 | 0.46 | 6 | | QQ | 32.56 | 32.34 | 0.45 | 6 | | JJ | 32.59 | 32.37 | 0.43 | 6 | | TT | 32.68 | 32.47 | 0.42 | 6 | | 77 | 33.82 | 33.60 | 0.44 | 6 | | 22 | 49.45 | 49.11 | 0.70 | 6 | | AKs | 29.33 | 27.12 | 4.42 | 3 | | AKo | 30.62 | 28.29 | 4.66 | 9 | | AQs | 29.84 | 27.08 | 5.53 | 3 | | JTs | 54.40 | 54.14 | 0.52 | 4 | | 76s | 54.90 | 54.64 | 0.52 | 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/Ac3c $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Ad3d](Ad3d.md) · [Ah3h](Ah3h.md) · [As3s](As3s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
