QJs

QJs (queen-jack suited) wins 60.0% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 28th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 16.6% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 26.4% and its rank moves to 14; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 18.6% for rank 13. A suited connector — straight and flush draws in the same holding.

Its suited/offsuit twin QJo runs at 58.0% (rank 39), 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 55 at 60.3%, and directly below is A6s at 59.9%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.4 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, QJs is a favourite against 115 of them and an underdog against 53. Its best matchup is J2o at 77.4% and its worst is QQ at 15.9% — a spread of 61.5 points, which is why calling QJs simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 4 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 77 at 50.5%.

QJs dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against J2o at 77.4%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them KQs, which leaves QJs with only 29.2%. 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 11 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 7.2 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 24.1 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, QJs lands +9 points from the middle of the pack, and 27 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 60.0% against one opponent, 44.1% against two, 30.3% against four and 18.6% against eight. That last figure is 168% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 9 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 QJs reads as 60.0% 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.
