Average Win Percentages With Ace-High Hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Ace-High hands are the next best thing after pocket pairs - at least when seeing all five cards against random hands. You can see that even A2 does better than pocket 2's and 3's.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As before, these are winning percentages and not equity. Equity will be slightly higher as it includes split pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Ace-King we show the win percentages for suited and unsuited as well as the average of both. For the rest we show the average of both. Note that this is a weighted average, because there are many more offsuit combinations (12) than suited combinations (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suitedness does confer an advantage, but its impact is greater in multiway pots than heads-up. You can see that the average advantage having a suited AK as opposed to having unsuited AK goes from 1.7 percentage points (pp) against one opponent to 3.5pp against 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally speaking, the suitedness advantage is greater for weaker starting hands. A2s wins 55.5% of the time against one opponent, compared to 53.0% for A2o - a difference of 2.5pp. In a 9-way hand, A2s wins 13.5% of the time, compared to 9.1% for A2o - giving a suitedness advantage of 4.4pp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rough rule of thumb is that suitedness gives an equity advantage of around 3pp but as you can see this is an average. The weaker your starting hand - and the more opponents you're up against - the more suitedness tends to matter. This isn't absolute though - see the section on Three-High hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHand<\/strong><\/td>2<\/strong><\/td>3<\/strong><\/td>4<\/strong><\/td>5<\/strong><\/td>6<\/strong><\/td>7<\/strong><\/td>8<\/strong><\/td>9<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>AKs<\/td> 66.2%<\/td> 49.8%<\/td> 40.5%<\/td> 34.5%<\/td> 30.2%<\/td> 26.8%<\/td> 24.1%<\/td> 21.8%<\/td><\/tr> AKo<\/td> 64.5%<\/td> 47.3%<\/td> 37.6%<\/td> 31.4%<\/td> 27.0%<\/td> 23.5%<\/td> 20.7%<\/td> 18.3%<\/td><\/tr> AK<\/td> 64.9%<\/td> 47.9%<\/td> 38.4%<\/td> 32.14%<\/td> 27.8%<\/td> 24.3%<\/td> 21.5%<\/td> 19.2%<\/td><\/tr> AQ<\/td> 64.0%<\/td> 46.4%<\/td> 36.5%<\/td> 30.2%<\/td> 25.7%<\/td> 22.3%<\/td> 19.6%<\/td> 17.4%<\/td><\/tr> AJ<\/td> 63.0%<\/td> 45.0%<\/td> 34.9%<\/td> 28.5%<\/td> 24.0%<\/td> 20.7%<\/td> 18.0%<\/td> 15.9%<\/td><\/tr> AT<\/td> 62.0%<\/td> 43.7%<\/td> 33.4%<\/td> 27.0%<\/td> 22.6%<\/td> 19.3%<\/td> 16.8%<\/td> 14.8%<\/td><\/tr> A9<\/td> 60.0%<\/td> 40.8%<\/td> 30.4%<\/td> 24.1%<\/td> 19.8%<\/td> 16.6%<\/td> 14.3%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td><\/tr> A8<\/td> 58.9%<\/td> 39.6%<\/td> 29.1%<\/td> 22.9%<\/td> 18.7%<\/td> 15.7%<\/td> 13.4%<\/td> 11.6%<\/td><\/tr> A7<\/td> 57.7%<\/td> 38.2%<\/td> 27.9%<\/td> 21.7%<\/td> 17.7%<\/td> 14.8%<\/td> 12.6%<\/td> 11.0%<\/td><\/tr> A6<\/td> 56.4%<\/td> 36.8%<\/td> 26.6%<\/td> 20.7%<\/td> 16.8%<\/td> 14.1%<\/td> 12.0%<\/td> 10.5%<\/td><\/tr> A5<\/td> 56.3%<\/td> 37.0%<\/td> 27.0%<\/td> 21.1%<\/td> 17.3%<\/td> 14.6%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td> 11.0%<\/td><\/tr> A4<\/td> 55.3%<\/td> 36.0%<\/td> 26.2%<\/td> 20.5%<\/td> 16.8%<\/td> 14.2%<\/td> 12.2%<\/td> 10.7%<\/td><\/tr> A3<\/td> 54.5%<\/td> 35.1%<\/td> 25.4%<\/td> 19.9%<\/td> 16.3%<\/td> 13.8%<\/td> 12.0%<\/td> 10.5%<\/td><\/tr> A2<\/td> 53.6%<\/td> 34.2%<\/td> 24.6%<\/td> 19.2%<\/td> 15.7%<\/td> 13.4%<\/td> 11.6%<\/td> 10.2%<\/td><\/tr> Equal Share<\/td> 50%<\/td> 33.3%<\/td> 25.0%<\/td> 20.0%<\/td> 16.7%<\/td> 14.3%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td> 11.1%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>Average winning percentage for Ace-High hole cards in poker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne unique thing about Ace-high hands is the fact A5 is a better hand than A6 (except heads-up).

Average Win Percentages With 9-High Hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Here is a table of all the possible Nine-high starting hands' winning percentages against random hands. Bear in mind that equity percentages will be slightly higher as they include split pots while winning percentages do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless otherwise stated, the figures are the weighted average for suited and unsuited versions of the hand. The effect of suitedness varies, but roughly gives about 3pp additional equity over unsuited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
98s is the first suited connector we've seen that does worse than average heads-up - but you can see it still beats the random hands in multiway pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHand<\/strong><\/td>2<\/strong><\/td>3<\/strong><\/td>4<\/strong><\/td>5<\/strong><\/td>6<\/strong><\/td>7<\/strong><\/td>8<\/strong><\/td>9<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>98s<\/td> 48.9%<\/td> 34.5%<\/td> 27.2%<\/td> 22.4%<\/td> 19.1%<\/td> 16.7%<\/td> 14.9%<\/td> 13.4%<\/td><\/tr> 98o<\/td> 46.1%<\/td> 31.2%<\/td> 23.6%<\/td> 18.8%<\/td> 15.4%<\/td> 13.0%<\/td> 11.2%<\/td> 9.8%<\/td><\/tr> 98<\/td> 46.8%<\/td> 32.0%<\/td> 24.5%<\/td> 19.7%<\/td> 16.3%<\/td> 13.9%<\/td> 12.1%<\/td> 10.7%<\/td><\/tr> 97<\/td> 44.8%<\/td> 29.9%<\/td> 22.6%<\/td> 17.9%<\/td> 14.8%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td> 10.9%<\/td> 9.6%<\/td><\/tr> 96<\/td> 42.9%<\/td> 27.8%<\/td> 20.6%<\/td> 16.2%<\/td> 13.2%<\/td> 11.1%<\/td> 9.6%<\/td> 8.4%<\/td><\/tr> 95<\/td> 40.9%<\/td> 25.8%<\/td> 18.7%<\/td> 14.4%<\/td> 11.6%<\/td> 9.7%<\/td> 8.3%<\/td> 7.3%<\/td><\/tr> 94<\/td> 38.9%<\/td> 23.8%<\/td> 17.0%<\/td> 12.9%<\/td> 10.3%<\/td> 8.5%<\/td> 7.2%<\/td> 6.3%<\/td><\/tr> 93<\/td> 38.3%<\/td> 23.2%<\/td> 16.4%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td> 10.0%<\/td> 8.3%<\/td> 7.0%<\/td> 6.1%<\/td><\/tr> 92<\/td> 37.4%<\/td> 22.5%<\/td> 15.8%<\/td> 12.1%<\/td> 9.7%<\/td> 8.1%<\/td> 6.9%<\/td> 6.0%<\/td><\/tr> Equal Share<\/td> 50%<\/td> 33.3%<\/td> 25.0%<\/td> 20.0%<\/td> 16.7%<\/td> 14.3%<\/td> 12.5%<\/td> 11.1%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>Average winning percentage for Nine-High hole cards in poker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
