QTo

QTo (queen-ten offsuit) wins 57.1% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 47th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 27.8% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 21.5% and its rank moves to 38; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 14.3% for rank 46. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin QTs runs at 59.5% (rank 34), a gap of 2.4 points. Losing the shared suit costs 2.4 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is JTs at 57.5%, and directly below is 44 at 57.0%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.5 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, QTo is a favourite against 107 of them and an underdog against 61. Its best matchup is T2o at 76.7% and its worst is QQ at 11.2% — a spread of 65.5 points, which is why calling QTo simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 4 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 33 at 50.0%.

QTo dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against T2o at 76.7%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them KTs, which leaves QTo with only 25.4%. 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 15 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 8.3 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 24.8 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, QTo lands +6.1 points from the middle of the pack, and 46 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 57.1% against one opponent, 40.4% against two, 25.4% against four and 14.3% against eight. That last figure is 129% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 6 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 QTo reads as 57.1% 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.
