Q6s

Q6s (queen-six suited) wins 53.6% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 68th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 40.2% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 18.6% and its rank moves to 62; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 12.9% for rank 61. A suited hand — the flush adds a few points of raw equity.

Its suited/offsuit twin Q6o runs at 51.0% (rank 82), a gap of 2.6 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.6 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 33 at 53.7%, and directly below is K2s at 53.2%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.5 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, Q6s is a favourite against 100 of them and an underdog against 68. Its best matchup is J6o at 75.6% and its worst is QQ at 12.2% — a spread of 63.4 points, which is why calling Q6s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 22 at 50.3%.

Q6s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against J6o at 75.6%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them AQs, which leaves Q6s with only 28.1%. 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 32 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 13.6 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 17.7 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, Q6s lands +2.6 points from the middle of the pack, and 67 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 53.6% against one opponent, 35.7% against two, 21.8% against four and 12.9% against eight. That last figure is 116% 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 Q6s reads as 53.6% 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.
