K2o

K2o (king-deuce offsuit) wins 50.4% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 86th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 50.9% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 13.7% and its rank moves to 127; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 8.8% for rank 133. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin K2s runs at 53.2% (rank 69), a gap of 2.8 points. Losing the shared suit costs 2.8 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is J6s at 50.5%, and directly below is Q5o at 50.2%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.3 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, K2o is a favourite against 110 of them and an underdog against 58. Its best matchup is Q2o at 75.4% and its worst is KK at 5.4% — a spread of 70 points, which is why calling K2o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being JTs at 50.8%.

K2o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against Q2o at 75.4%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AKs, which leaves K2o with only 21.6%. 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 33 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 15 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 18.1 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, K2o lands -0.6 points from the middle of the pack, and 85 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 50.4% against one opponent, 31.3% against two, 17.2% against four and 8.8% against eight. That last figure is 79% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 3 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 K2o reads as 50.4% 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.
