A2s

A2s (ace-deuce suited) wins 57.6% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 43th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 25.4% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 20.6% and its rank moves to 43; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 14.6% for rank 38. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin A2o runs at 54.9% (rank 60), a gap of 2.7 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.7 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is A5o at 57.7%, and directly below is K7s at 57.6%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.1 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, A2s is a favourite against 133 of them and an underdog against 35. Its best matchup is K2o at 77.2% and its worst is AA at 12.0% — a spread of 65.2 points, which is why calling A2s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being A3o at 49.7%.

A2s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against K2o at 77.2%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves A2s with only 28.8%. 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 suited hands it comes 20 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 9.6 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 21.7 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, A2s lands +6.6 points from the middle of the pack, and 42 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 57.6% against one opponent, 38.6% against two, 24.0% against four and 14.6% against eight. That last figure is 132% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 7 points, and it arrives 0.3% of the time (4 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 A2s reads as 57.6% 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.
