A6s

A6s (ace-six suited) wins 59.9% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 29th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 17.2% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 21.5% and its rank moves to 37; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 15.3% for rank 33. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin A6o runs at 57.6% (rank 45), a gap of 2.3 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.3 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is QJs at 60.0%, and directly below is K9s at 59.9%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.1 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, A6s is a favourite against 141 of them and an underdog against 27. Its best matchup is K6o at 76.3% and its worst is AA at 11.9% — a spread of 64.4 points, which is why calling A6s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 1 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 49.5%.

A6s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against K6o at 76.3%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves A6s with only 29.2%. 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 suited hands it comes 12 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 7.3 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 24 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, A6s lands +8.9 points from the middle of the pack, and 28 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 59.9% against one opponent, 40.8% against two, 25.5% against four and 15.3% against eight. That last figure is 138% 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 A6s reads as 59.9% 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.
