Against one random hand it wins 82.12% of showdowns and takes 82.41% of the pot. ## What this hand is Pocket kings (hearts and spades). Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to KcKd, KcKh, KcKs, KdKh, KdKs — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 6 combinations in class KK 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 | 82.12 | 0.58 | 82.41 | | 2 | 68.51 | 0.60 | 68.75 | | 3 | 57.89 | 0.59 | 58.12 | | 4 | 49.60 | 0.62 | 49.84 | | 5 | 42.68 | 0.61 | 42.93 | | 6 | 37.29 | 0.59 | 37.53 | | 7 | 32.56 | 0.61 | 32.81 | 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 | 18.05 | 17.82 | 0.46 | 6 | | KK | 50.00 | 2.17 | 95.65 | 1 | | QQ | 81.93 | 81.70 | 0.46 | 6 | | JJ | 81.54 | 81.32 | 0.44 | 6 | | TT | 81.14 | 80.93 | 0.41 | 6 | | 77 | 80.47 | 80.30 | 0.35 | 6 | | 22 | 81.81 | 81.54 | 0.54 | 6 | | AKs | 65.89 | 65.48 | 0.82 | 2 | | AKo | 69.88 | 69.46 | 0.85 | 6 | | AQs | 68.15 | 67.94 | 0.43 | 4 | | JTs | 80.25 | 80.05 | 0.40 | 4 | | 76s | 77.53 | 77.36 | 0.35 | 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/KhKs $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [KcKd](KcKd.md) · [KcKh](KcKh.md) · [KcKs](KcKs.md) · [KdKh](KdKh.md) · [KdKs](KdKs.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
