Preflop hand-vs-hand equity

1,770 matchups between the 60 starting hands people look up most, each counted exactly over every possible board.

What these pages show

Every page here answers one question: if these two starting hands are dealt against each other and all the chips go in before the flop, how often does each one win, tie or lose? The numbers are not simulated. For each matchup we deal every one of the 1,712,304 possible five-card boards and compare the two hands, so the percentages are exact to two decimals.

There are 14,196 ways to pair up two different starting-hand classes out of the 169. The 1,770 pages below cover every pair of the 60 classes most often searched, and each one shows the equity for both hands, how the result changes with the texture of the flop, and whether a shared suit helps.

Every other pair of starting hands has a page with its headline numbers. For two specific hands, a range or a random hand, use the equity calculator.

How to read a matchup page

  • The hand with the better rank against a random opponent is named first, so each matchup has one address. The reversed order sends you to it.
  • Wins, ties and loses add up to 100 percent. Equity counts a tie as half a win for each side, which is the share of the pot a hand earns on average.
  • The flop table splits the boards by the shape of the first three cards: rainbow, two-tone, monotone or paired. Each board is counted once under each of its ten three-card flops.

How this was computed

Every figure comes from one exact count per matchup, computed by the GeorgeLiPoker poker math library. For each way to deal the two hands without reusing a card, grouped by suit pattern, all 1,712,304 five-card boards are dealt and both seven-card hands are compared.
