KJo

KJo (king-jack offsuit) wins 60.5% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 26th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 15.4% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 23.7% and its rank moves to 23; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 15.8% for rank 28. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin KJs runs at 62.5% (rank 20), a gap of 2 points. Losing the shared suit costs 2 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is A9o at 60.8%, and directly below is 55 at 60.3%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.5 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, KJo is a favourite against 128 of them and an underdog against 40. Its best matchup is J2o at 76.8% and its worst is KK at 9.2% — a spread of 67.6 points, which is why calling KJo simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 1 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 49.1%.

KJo dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against J2o at 76.8%. It is dominated by 6 hands in return, the worst of them AJs, which leaves KJo with only 24.4%. 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 offsuit hands it comes 7 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 4.9 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 28.2 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, KJo lands +9.5 points from the middle of the pack, and 25 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 60.5% against one opponent, 43.2% against two, 27.9% against four and 15.8% against eight. That last figure is 142% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 7 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 KJo reads as 60.5% 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.
