Against one random hand it wins 51.89% of showdowns and takes 53.58% of the pot. ## What this hand is Queen-eight offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Qc8d, Qc8h, Qc8s, Qd8c, Qd8h, Qd8s, Qh8c, Qh8s, Qs8c, Qs8d, Qs8h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class Q8o 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 | 51.89 | 3.39 | 53.58 | | 2 | 33.58 | 3.37 | 35.14 | | 3 | 24.68 | 3.17 | 26.13 | | 4 | 19.08 | 3.00 | 20.44 | | 5 | 15.66 | 2.89 | 16.97 | | 6 | 12.95 | 2.81 | 14.22 | | 7 | 10.87 | 2.70 | 12.08 | 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 | 13.61 | 13.44 | 0.35 | 6 | | KK | 13.28 | 13.09 | 0.38 | 6 | | QQ | 7.92 | 7.00 | 1.85 | 3 | | JJ | 28.12 | 27.93 | 0.37 | 6 | | TT | 28.00 | 27.81 | 0.38 | 6 | | 77 | 44.85 | 44.60 | 0.50 | 6 | | 22 | 48.47 | 47.88 | 1.17 | 6 | | AKs | 31.71 | 31.48 | 0.45 | 4 | | AKo | 33.29 | 33.07 | 0.43 | 12 | | AQs | 24.54 | 23.79 | 1.51 | 3 | | JTs | 53.05 | 52.60 | 0.90 | 4 | | 76s | 59.25 | 58.80 | 0.89 | 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/Qh8d $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Qc8d](Qc8d.md) · [Qc8h](Qc8h.md) · [Qc8s](Qc8s.md) · [Qd8c](Qd8c.md) · [Qd8h](Qd8h.md) · [Qd8s](Qd8s.md) · [Qh8c](Qh8c.md) · [Qh8s](Qh8s.md) · [Qs8c](Qs8c.md) · [Qs8d](Qs8d.md) · [Qs8h](Qs8h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
