KTs

KTs (king-ten suited) wins 61.8% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 22th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 13% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 25.9% and its rank moves to 16; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 18.5% for rank 14. A suited hand — the flush adds a few points of raw equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin KTo runs at 59.8% (rank 33), a gap of 2 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is A8s at 61.9%, and directly below is KQo at 61.5%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.4 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, KTs is a favourite against 131 of them and an underdog against 37. Its best matchup is T2o at 77.5% and its worst is KK at 14.6% — a spread of 62.9 points, which is why calling KTs simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 4 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 55 at 50.2%.

KTs dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against T2o at 77.5%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them ATs, which leaves KTs with only 28.8%. 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 9 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 5.4 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 25.9 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, KTs lands +10.8 points from the middle of the pack, and 21 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 61.8% against one opponent, 44.9% against two, 29.7% against four and 18.5% against eight. That last figure is 167% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 8 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 KTs reads as 61.8% 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.
