76o

76o (seven-six offsuit) wins 42.3% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 133th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 78.7% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 14.1% and its rank moves to 121; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 9.5% for rank 123. A connector — straight potential, but nothing else to lean on.

Its suited/offsuit twin 76s runs at 45.5% (rank 115), a gap of 3.2 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.2 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 92s at 42.5%, and directly below is 74s at 41.8%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.7 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 76o is a favourite against 29 of them and an underdog against 139. Its best matchup is 62o at 70.4% and its worst is 77 at 13.4% — a spread of 57 points, which is why calling 76o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 33 at 49.2%.

76o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 62o at 70.4%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them J7s, which leaves 76o with only 28.2%. 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 56 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 23.1 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 10 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 76o lands -8.7 points from the middle of the pack, and 132 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 42.3% against one opponent, 28.4% against two, 16.9% against four and 9.5% against eight. That last figure is 86% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 4.5 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 76o reads as 42.3% 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.

76o pairs the board on the flop — at least one of its two ranks hits — 32.4% of the time, and flops top pair or better (the paired card is the highest on the board, or two pair and up) 7.14%. By the river it has made a pair or better 48.7% of the time.

For straights, the flop completes one 1.31% of the time (256 flops), gives an eight-out draw 9.71% and a four-out gutshot 16.8%. By the river a straight using a hole card completes 9.12% of the time.

Put together, 76o flops a pair or better or a strong draw (an eight-out straight draw) 42.0% of the time — rank 79 of the 156 unpaired hands (tied with 6 others). The highest is JTs, T9s, 98s and 4 others at 50.6% and the lowest AKo, A2o at 32.8%.

Against one random hand, 76o goes from 42.3% before the flop up to 67.0% when either card pairs, and down to 30.5% when both miss. It connects 32.4% of the time (6,356 of 19,600 flops). Missing with a card above 7 on board leaves 30.1%; missing with nothing above 7 leaves 39.9%.

By board shape: rainbow 42.2%, two-tone 42.2%, monotone 44.2%. A monotone flop in one of your suits gives 52.3%. A paired board gives 38.7%, and a connected board (three ranks within five) 48.0%. The best row in the table is "Either card hits (a matching rank on the flop)" at 67.0%, the worst "and at least one card above 7" at 30.1%.

The 42.3% at the top of the page is a 400,000-hand simulation; this table counts every deal of the opponent's two cards and the five-card board (2,097,572,400 per starting hand), which puts the pre-flop figure at 42.32% (a gap of 0.02 points). Each equity is taken with the flop out and the turn and river still to come.
