Against one random hand it wins 50.47% of showdowns and takes 52.29% of the pot. ## What this hand is Ten-eight of spades. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Tc8c, Td8d, Th8h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class T8s 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 | 50.47 | 3.63 | 52.29 | | 2 | 35.26 | 3.24 | 36.73 | | 3 | 27.62 | 2.94 | 28.94 | | 4 | 22.55 | 2.92 | 23.86 | | 5 | 19.32 | 2.82 | 20.60 | | 6 | 16.87 | 2.78 | 18.12 | | 7 | 15.01 | 2.70 | 16.22 | 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 | 21.01 | 20.84 | 0.35 | 6 | | KK | 20.70 | 20.51 | 0.38 | 6 | | QQ | 19.58 | 19.39 | 0.38 | 6 | | JJ | 18.21 | 18.01 | 0.40 | 6 | | TT | 16.38 | 14.98 | 2.81 | 3 | | 77 | 48.64 | 48.33 | 0.63 | 6 | | 22 | 52.84 | 51.97 | 1.75 | 6 | | AKs | 37.15 | 36.91 | 0.48 | 4 | | AKo | 39.68 | 39.46 | 0.44 | 12 | | AQs | 36.98 | 36.74 | 0.48 | 4 | | JTs | 29.82 | 27.38 | 4.89 | 3 | | 76s | 63.29 | 62.38 | 1.81 | 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/Ts8s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Tc8c](Tc8c.md) · [Td8d](Td8d.md) · [Th8h](Th8h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
