AJs

AJs (ace-jack suited) wins 65.4% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 11th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 6.5% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 27.9% and its rank moves to 10; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 20.1% for rank 8. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin AJo runs at 63.6% (rank 15), a gap of 1.8 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 1.8 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is AQs at 66.2%, and directly below is AKo at 65.4%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.8 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, AJs is a favourite against 152 of them and an underdog against 16. Its best matchup is J2o at 78.1% and its worst is AA at 12.9% — a spread of 65.2 points, which is why calling AJs simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 33 at 49.8%.

AJs dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against J2o at 78.1%. It is dominated by 4 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves AJs with only 29.1%. 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 3 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 1.8 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 29.5 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, AJs lands +14.4 points from the middle of the pack, and 10 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 65.4% against one opponent, 48.0% against two, 32.2% against four and 20.1% against eight. That last figure is 181% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 10 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 AJs reads as 65.4% 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.
