# AcQc — ace-queen of clubs

**Open-raise from every position.** AcQc ranks 9 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 3.9%). Against one random hand it wins
65.27% of showdowns and takes 66.16% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Ace-queen of clubs. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
AdQd, AhQh, AsQs — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
4 combinations in class AQs 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 | 65.27 | 1.79 | 66.16 |
| 2 | 48.29 | 2.18 | 49.30 |
| 3 | 38.86 | 2.22 | 39.88 |
| 4 | 32.70 | 2.30 | 33.74 |
| 5 | 28.27 | 2.27 | 29.30 |
| 6 | 24.93 | 2.24 | 25.94 |
| 7 | 22.32 | 2.25 | 23.33 |

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 | 12.54 | 11.92 | 1.24 | 3 |
| KK | 31.85 | 31.63 | 0.43 | 6 |
| QQ | 34.27 | 33.65 | 1.24 | 3 |
| JJ | 45.88 | 45.68 | 0.42 | 6 |
| TT | 45.86 | 45.66 | 0.40 | 6 |
| 77 | 48.11 | 47.91 | 0.40 | 6 |
| 22 | 50.21 | 49.90 | 0.64 | 6 |
| AKs | 28.72 | 26.61 | 4.23 | 3 |
| AKo | 29.88 | 27.65 | 4.44 | 9 |
| AQs | 50.00 | 7.16 | 85.69 | 3 |
| JTs | 62.20 | 61.95 | 0.50 | 4 |
| 76s | 61.45 | 61.21 | 0.47 | 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.
