J4o

J4o (jack-four offsuit) wins 46.1% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 111th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 65.7% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 12.3% and its rank moves to 144; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 7.6% for rank 147. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin J4s runs at 49.2% (rank 93), a gap of 3.1 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.1 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 86s at 46.3%, and directly below is T6o at 46.0%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.3 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, J4o is a favourite against 76 of them and an underdog against 92. Its best matchup is T4o at 73.8% and its worst is JJ at 6.8% — a spread of 67 points, which is why calling J4o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being J3s at 50.3%.

J4o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against T4o at 73.8%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AJs, which leaves J4o with only 22.9%. 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 offsuit hands it comes 45 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 19.3 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 13.8 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, J4o lands -4.9 points from the middle of the pack, and 110 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 46.1% against one opponent, 28.3% against two, 15.5% against four and 7.6% against eight. That last figure is 68% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 1 points, and it arrives 0.9% of the time (12 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 J4o reads as 46.1% 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.
