Against one random hand it wins 60.46% of showdowns and takes 61.67% of the pot. ## What this hand is King-ten of spades. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to KcTc, KdTd, KhTh — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class KTs 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 | 60.46 | 2.43 | 61.67 | | 2 | 43.51 | 2.71 | 44.77 | | 3 | 34.34 | 2.72 | 35.58 | | 4 | 28.57 | 2.71 | 29.80 | | 5 | 24.55 | 2.70 | 25.77 | | 6 | 21.64 | 2.67 | 22.85 | | 7 | 19.15 | 2.68 | 20.36 | 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 | 17.87 | 17.67 | 0.40 | 6 | | KK | 14.67 | 14.08 | 1.17 | 3 | | QQ | 32.45 | 32.24 | 0.41 | 6 | | JJ | 32.28 | 32.08 | 0.41 | 6 | | TT | 35.86 | 34.86 | 2.00 | 3 | | 77 | 48.68 | 48.46 | 0.43 | 6 | | 22 | 51.90 | 51.45 | 0.89 | 6 | | AKs | 29.11 | 28.53 | 1.14 | 3 | | AKo | 30.17 | 29.60 | 1.13 | 9 | | AQs | 38.54 | 38.28 | 0.51 | 4 | | JTs | 69.24 | 67.91 | 2.67 | 3 | | 76s | 61.95 | 61.63 | 0.66 | 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/KsTs $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [KcTc](KcTc.md) · [KdTd](KdTd.md) · [KhTh](KhTh.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
