Against one random hand it wins 79.70% of showdowns and takes 80.01% of the pot. ## What this hand is Pocket queens (clubs and hearts). Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to QcQd, QcQs, QdQh, QdQs, QhQs — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 6 combinations in class QQ 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 | 79.70 | 0.61 | 80.01 | | 2 | 64.49 | 0.66 | 64.76 | | 3 | 53.23 | 0.66 | 53.49 | | 4 | 44.46 | 0.70 | 44.74 | | 5 | 37.56 | 0.71 | 37.85 | | 6 | 32.25 | 0.73 | 32.56 | | 7 | 27.98 | 0.75 | 28.30 | 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 | 18.45 | 18.24 | 0.43 | 6 | | KK | 18.07 | 17.83 | 0.46 | 6 | | QQ | 50.00 | 2.17 | 95.65 | 1 | | JJ | 81.97 | 81.75 | 0.44 | 6 | | TT | 81.57 | 81.36 | 0.41 | 6 | | 77 | 80.92 | 80.74 | 0.37 | 6 | | 22 | 81.85 | 81.58 | 0.53 | 6 | | AKs | 53.95 | 53.73 | 0.43 | 4 | | AKo | 56.76 | 56.55 | 0.42 | 12 | | AQs | 65.73 | 65.10 | 1.24 | 2 | | JTs | 81.67 | 81.47 | 0.40 | 4 | | 76s | 77.94 | 77.77 | 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/QcQh $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [QcQd](QcQd.md) · [QcQs](QcQs.md) · [QdQh](QdQh.md) · [QdQs](QdQs.md) · [QhQs](QhQs.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
