Q3s

Q3s (queen-three suited) wins 51.0% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 81th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 47.9% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 17.3% and its rank moves to 74; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 12.0% for rank 76. A suited hand — the flush adds a few points of raw equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin Q3o runs at 48.1% (rank 100), a gap of 2.9 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.9 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is K3o at 51.3%, and directly below is Q6o at 51.0%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.3 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, Q3s is a favourite against 93 of them and an underdog against 75. Its best matchup is J3o at 75.7% and its worst is QQ at 11.5% — a spread of 64.2 points, which is why calling Q3s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being Q4o at 49.6%.

Q3s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against J3o at 75.7%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AQs, which leaves Q3s with only 26.5%. 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 38 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 16.2 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 15.1 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, Q3s lands +0 points from the middle of the pack, and 80 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 51.0% against one opponent, 33.4% against two, 20.6% against four and 12.0% against eight. That last figure is 108% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 4 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 Q3s reads as 51.0% 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.
