Against one random hand it wins 56.83% of showdowns and takes 58.37% of the pot. ## What this hand is King-eight of hearts. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Kc8c, Kd8d, Ks8s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class K8s 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 | 56.83 | 3.09 | 58.37 | | 2 | 38.68 | 3.31 | 40.24 | | 3 | 29.26 | 3.15 | 30.71 | | 4 | 23.74 | 2.98 | 25.09 | | 5 | 20.04 | 2.88 | 21.34 | | 6 | 17.44 | 2.83 | 18.72 | | 7 | 15.33 | 2.76 | 16.57 | 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 | 16.08 | 15.89 | 0.38 | 6 | | KK | 11.58 | 10.91 | 1.34 | 3 | | QQ | 31.42 | 31.22 | 0.40 | 6 | | JJ | 31.26 | 31.06 | 0.39 | 6 | | TT | 31.16 | 30.96 | 0.39 | 6 | | 77 | 45.94 | 45.71 | 0.45 | 6 | | 22 | 49.96 | 49.51 | 0.90 | 6 | | AKs | 27.52 | 26.92 | 1.20 | 3 | | AKo | 28.51 | 27.91 | 1.19 | 9 | | AQs | 36.52 | 36.27 | 0.50 | 4 | | JTs | 54.96 | 54.61 | 0.69 | 4 | | 76s | 61.31 | 60.98 | 0.67 | 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/Kh8h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Kc8c](Kc8c.md) · [Kd8d](Kd8d.md) · [Ks8s](Ks8s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
