A6o

A6o (ace-six offsuit) wins 57.6% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 45th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 26.6% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 17.8% and its rank moves to 70; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 10.8% for rank 101. An ace-high hand — watch out for kicker trouble and domination.

Its suited/offsuit twin A6s runs at 59.9% (rank 29), a gap of 2.3 points. Losing the shared suit costs 2.3 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is K7s at 57.6%, and directly below is JTs at 57.5%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.1 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, A6o is a favourite against 140 of them and an underdog against 28. Its best matchup is 62o at 75.6% and its worst is AA at 6.4% — a spread of 69.2 points, which is why calling A6o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little.

A6o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 62o at 75.6%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves A6o with only 24.8%. 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 14 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 7.8 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 25.3 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, A6o lands +6.6 points from the middle of the pack, and 44 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 57.6% against one opponent, 38.4% against two, 21.6% against four and 10.8% against eight. That last figure is 97% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 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 A6o 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.
