# AsKc — ace-king offsuit

**Open-raise from every position.** AsKc ranks 12 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 5.1%). Against one random hand it wins
64.46% of showdowns and takes 65.32% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Ace-king offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
AcKd, AcKh, AcKs, AdKc, AdKh, AdKs, AhKc, AhKd, AhKs, AsKd, AsKh — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
12 combinations in class AKo 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 | 64.46 | 1.71 | 65.32 |
| 2 | 47.21 | 2.01 | 48.14 |
| 3 | 37.67 | 2.02 | 38.58 |
| 4 | 31.43 | 2.12 | 32.38 |
| 5 | 26.95 | 2.05 | 27.87 |
| 6 | 23.49 | 2.04 | 24.41 |
| 7 | 20.65 | 2.01 | 21.55 |

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 | 6.83 | 6.17 | 1.32 | 3 |
| KK | 30.12 | 29.70 | 0.85 | 3 |
| QQ | 43.24 | 43.03 | 0.42 | 6 |
| JJ | 43.15 | 42.95 | 0.41 | 6 |
| TT | 43.12 | 42.93 | 0.39 | 6 |
| 77 | 45.02 | 44.84 | 0.36 | 6 |
| 22 | 47.35 | 47.04 | 0.62 | 6 |
| AKs | 47.51 | 2.17 | 90.67 | 2 |
| AKo | 50.00 | 1.56 | 96.88 | 7 |
| AQs | 70.12 | 67.90 | 4.44 | 3 |
| JTs | 59.49 | 59.25 | 0.46 | 4 |
| 76s | 58.43 | 58.22 | 0.42 | 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.
