Against one random hand it wins 54.47% of showdowns and takes 56.09% of the pot. ## What this hand is King-eight offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Kc8d, Kc8h, Kc8s, Kd8c, Kd8h, Kd8s, Kh8c, Kh8s, Ks8c, Ks8d, Ks8h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class K8o 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 | 54.47 | 3.22 | 56.09 | | 2 | 35.35 | 3.45 | 36.97 | | 3 | 25.60 | 3.28 | 27.11 | | 4 | 19.84 | 3.12 | 21.26 | | 5 | 15.99 | 3.02 | 17.36 | | 6 | 13.30 | 2.98 | 14.64 | | 7 | 11.12 | 2.91 | 12.42 | 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 | 11.86 | 11.68 | 0.36 | 6 | | KK | 6.23 | 5.52 | 1.41 | 3 | | QQ | 27.80 | 27.61 | 0.38 | 6 | | JJ | 27.62 | 27.43 | 0.37 | 6 | | TT | 27.50 | 27.32 | 0.37 | 6 | | 77 | 43.16 | 42.94 | 0.43 | 6 | | 22 | 47.42 | 46.99 | 0.87 | 6 | | AKs | 23.24 | 22.64 | 1.20 | 3 | | AKo | 24.06 | 23.46 | 1.20 | 9 | | AQs | 33.52 | 33.29 | 0.45 | 4 | | JTs | 52.19 | 51.86 | 0.66 | 4 | | 76s | 58.79 | 58.48 | 0.63 | 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/Kh8d $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Kc8d](Kc8d.md) · [Kc8h](Kc8h.md) · [Kc8s](Kc8s.md) · [Kd8c](Kd8c.md) · [Kd8h](Kd8h.md) · [Kd8s](Kd8s.md) · [Kh8c](Kh8c.md) · [Kh8s](Kh8s.md) · [Ks8c](Ks8c.md) · [Ks8d](Ks8d.md) · [Ks8h](Ks8h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
