Against one random hand it wins 66.21% of showdowns and takes 67.05% of the pot. ## What this hand is Ace-king of hearts. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to AcKc, AdKd, AsKs — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class AKs 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 | 66.21 | 1.66 | 67.05 | | 2 | 49.75 | 1.94 | 50.64 | | 3 | 40.61 | 1.94 | 41.48 | | 4 | 34.54 | 2.03 | 35.45 | | 5 | 30.21 | 1.98 | 31.10 | | 6 | 26.79 | 1.97 | 27.67 | | 7 | 24.09 | 1.94 | 24.96 | 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 | 12.14 | 11.51 | 1.26 | 3 | | KK | 34.11 | 33.69 | 0.82 | 3 | | QQ | 46.05 | 45.83 | 0.43 | 6 | | JJ | 45.96 | 45.75 | 0.42 | 6 | | TT | 45.94 | 45.73 | 0.41 | 6 | | 77 | 47.69 | 47.50 | 0.39 | 6 | | 22 | 49.89 | 49.57 | 0.65 | 6 | | AKs | 50.00 | 7.16 | 85.69 | 3 | | AKo | 52.49 | 7.16 | 90.67 | 6 | | AQs | 71.28 | 69.16 | 4.23 | 3 | | JTs | 62.01 | 61.75 | 0.51 | 4 | | 76s | 61.06 | 60.83 | 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. ## 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/AhKh $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [AcKc](AcKc.md) · [AdKd](AdKd.md) · [AsKs](AsKs.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
