AQs

AQs (ace-queen suited) wins 66.2% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 10th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 5.9% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 29.3% and its rank moves to 7; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 21.1% for rank 6. A suited ace — nut-flush potential on top of top-pair equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin AQo runs at 64.4% (rank 14), 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 77 at 66.3%, and directly below is AJs at 65.4%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.9 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, AQs is a favourite against 154 of them and an underdog against 14. Its best matchup is Q2o at 78.3% and its worst is AA at 12.4% — a spread of 65.9 points, which is why calling AQs simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 50.3%.

AQs dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against Q2o at 78.3%. It is dominated by 2 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves AQs with only 28.9%. 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 2 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 1 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 30.3 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, AQs lands +15.2 points from the middle of the pack, and 9 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 66.2% against one opponent, 49.7% against two, 34.0% against four and 21.1% against eight. That last figure is 190% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 11 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 AQs reads as 66.2% 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.
