AKs

AKs (ace-king suited) wins 67.2% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 8th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 4.7% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 31.3% and its rank moves to 5; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 22.4% for rank 4. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin AKo runs at 65.4% (rank 12), 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 88 at 69.2%, and directly below is 77 at 66.3%, so three hands are packed into a band of 2.9 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, AKs is a favourite against 155 of them and an underdog against 13. Its best matchup is K2o at 78.4% and its worst is AA at 12.1% — a spread of 66.3 points, which is why calling AKs simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 49.8%.

AKs dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against K2o at 78.4%. 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 1 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 0 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 31.3 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, AKs lands +16.2 points from the middle of the pack, and 7 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 67.2% against one opponent, 50.3% against two, 35.4% against four and 22.4% against eight. That last figure is 202% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 12 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 AKs reads as 67.2% 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.
