Against one random hand it wins 54.75% of showdowns and takes 56.59% of the pot. ## What this hand is King-six of spades. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Kc6c, Kd6d, Kh6h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class K6s 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 | 54.75 | 3.69 | 56.59 | | 2 | 36.43 | 3.82 | 38.23 | | 3 | 27.27 | 3.61 | 28.94 | | 4 | 22.00 | 3.34 | 23.53 | | 5 | 18.42 | 3.21 | 19.89 | | 6 | 16.07 | 3.13 | 17.49 | | 7 | 14.24 | 3.04 | 15.61 | 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 | 16.50 | 16.30 | 0.39 | 6 | | KK | 11.98 | 11.31 | 1.33 | 3 | | QQ | 31.76 | 31.57 | 0.38 | 6 | | JJ | 31.42 | 31.23 | 0.38 | 6 | | TT | 31.66 | 31.48 | 0.38 | 6 | | 77 | 32.96 | 32.72 | 0.47 | 6 | | 22 | 49.93 | 49.47 | 0.92 | 6 | | AKs | 27.69 | 27.09 | 1.20 | 3 | | AKo | 28.71 | 28.11 | 1.20 | 9 | | AQs | 37.05 | 36.81 | 0.49 | 4 | | JTs | 53.94 | 53.60 | 0.68 | 4 | | 76s | 66.50 | 64.99 | 3.02 | 3 | 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/Ks6s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Kc6c](Kc6c.md) · [Kd6d](Kd6d.md) · [Kh6h](Kh6h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
