A7s

A7s (ace-seven suited) wins 60.9% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 24th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 14.2% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 22.5% and its rank moves to 29; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 15.8% for rank 26. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin A7o runs at 58.7% (rank 36), a gap of 2.2 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.2 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is KQo at 61.5%, and directly below is A9o at 60.8%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.7 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, A7s is a favourite against 144 of them and an underdog against 24. Its best matchup is 72o at 78.0% and its worst is AA at 12.0% — a spread of 66 points, which is why calling A7s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 1 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 50.1%.

A7s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 72o at 78.0%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves A7s with only 29.3%. 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 10 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 6.3 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 25 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, A7s lands +9.9 points from the middle of the pack, and 23 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 60.9% against one opponent, 42.7% against two, 26.3% against four and 15.8% against eight. That last figure is 142% 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 A7s reads as 60.9% 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.
