62o

62o (six-deuce offsuit) wins 34.1% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 167th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 98.8% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 9.1% and its rank moves to 166; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 6.0% for rank 166. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin 62s runs at 37.6% (rank 156), a gap of 3.5 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.5 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 52o at 34.3%, and directly below is 42o at 33.3%, so three hands are packed into a band of 1 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 62o is a favourite against 9 of them and an underdog against 159. Its best matchup is 32o at 62.8% and its worst is 66 at 8.2% — a spread of 54.6 points, which is why calling 62o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 54o at 50.4%.

62o dominates 3 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 32o at 62.8%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A6s, which leaves 62o with only 23.8%. A single kicker can move the number by tens of points, and the full table below lists every one of those opponents.

Within the 78 offsuit hands it comes 76 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 31.3 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 1.8 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 62o lands -16.9 points from the middle of the pack, and 166 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 34.1% against one opponent, 21.0% against two, 11.5% against four and 6.0% against eight. That last figure is 54% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at -1 points, and it arrives 0.9% of the time (12 of 1,326 combinations).

One caveat worth repeating: every number on this page assumes the opponent holds a completely random hand and that the pot goes to showdown. Real opponents hold ranges, and a range that has already put money in is stronger than random — which is exactly why 62o reads as 34.1% here but plays worse than that against a raise. Use the 168 rows in the table below to see which specific holdings are the problem, rather than treating the headline figure as a verdict on the hand.
