65o

65o (six-five offsuit) wins 39.9% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 144th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 85.2% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 13.2% and its rank moves to 134; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 9.2% for rank 128. A connector — straight potential, but nothing else to lean on.

Its suited/offsuit twin 65s runs at 43.0% (rank 128), a gap of 3.1 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.1 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 73s at 40.1%, and directly below is 93o at 39.9%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.2 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 65o is a favourite against 18 of them and an underdog against 150. Its best matchup is 52o at 65.2% and its worst is 66 at 13.7% — a spread of 51.5 points, which is why calling 65o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 1 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 49.8%.

65o dominates 5 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 52o at 65.2%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A6s, which leaves 65o with only 28.7%. 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 61 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 25.5 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 7.6 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 65o lands -11.1 points from the middle of the pack, and 143 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 39.9% against one opponent, 26.4% against two, 16.1% against four and 9.2% against eight. That last figure is 83% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 4 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 65o reads as 39.9% 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.
