Before any board card is dealt, KQo holds 60.23% equity against 64s, which leaves 64s with 39.77%. ## KQo against 64s: the numbers **Exact preflop results for KQo against 64s, in percent** | Hand | Wins | Ties | Loses | Equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KQo | 59.892 | 0.680 | 39.428 | 60.232 | | 64s | 39.428 | 0.680 | 59.892 | 39.768 | One side is an offsuit hand, the other is a suited hand. Neither hand shares a rank with the other, so this is a contest of high cards, connection and suits. KQo is ahead, but 64s is far from dead: it takes 394 of every 1,000 deals outright. Ties are part of the picture: 0.68% of boards end in a split pot, and each side counts that as half a win. KQo ranks number 23 of 169 starting hands, and 64s ranks number 138, by equity against a random hand. **Boards behind the percentages: 82,190,592 counted in all** | Hand | Boards won, about | Boards tied, about | Boards lost, about | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KQo | 49,226,000 | 559,000 | 32,406,000 | | 64s | 32,406,000 | 559,000 | 49,226,000 | The total is exact: 48 specific deals times 1,712,304 boards. The three counts are approximate, worked out from the percentages to five decimals and rounded to the nearest thousand. **KQo against 64s read as odds** | Hand | Equity as odds (to 1) | Wins one deal in | Loses one deal in | Pot odds needed to call (to 1) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KQo | 1.515 | 1.670 | 2.536 | 0.660 | | 64s | 0.660 | 2.536 | 1.670 | 1.515 | The last column is the break-even price: the pot odds a call needs to offer, as a ratio of pot to call. ## Who is ahead on which flops Break the boards down by their first three cards and KQo is strongest on rainbow flops topped by a ten or better (68.80%) and weakest on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower) (32.67%). KQo is the favorite overall but falls behind on low rainbow flops (nine high or lower). **KQo against 64s by flop texture, in percent** | Flop | Share of flops | KQo wins | Ties | 64s wins | KQo equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rainbow, ten or higher | 24.717 | 68.664 | 0.273 | 31.063 | 68.800 | | Rainbow, nine or lower | 6.313 | 32.200 | 0.938 | 66.862 | 32.669 | | Two-tone | 46.667 | 58.436 | 0.387 | 41.177 | 58.630 | | Monotone | 5.212 | 57.241 | 2.502 | 40.257 | 58.492 | | Paired | 17.091 | 62.222 | 1.419 | 36.359 | 62.931 | A rainbow flop shows three suits, a two-tone flop repeats one suit, a monotone flop is a single suit, and a paired flop repeats a rank. ## Compared with a random hand A random hand would give KQo 61.46% and 64s 41.33%. Against each other the change is -1.23 points for KQo and -1.56 for 64s. **KQo and 64s here compared with each against a random hand, in percent** | Case | Equity here | Against a random hand | Change in points | Times the random-hand equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | KQo, all flops | 60.232 | 61.456 | -1.224 | 0.98008 | | KQo, rainbow, ten or higher | 68.800 | 61.456 | +7.344 | 1.11950 | | KQo, rainbow, nine or lower | 32.669 | 61.456 | -28.787 | 0.53158 | | KQo, two-tone | 58.630 | 61.456 | -2.826 | 0.95402 | | KQo, monotone | 58.492 | 61.456 | -2.964 | 0.95177 | | KQo, paired | 62.931 | 61.456 | +1.475 | 1.02400 | | 64s, all flops | 39.768 | 41.333 | -1.565 | 0.96214 | | 64s, rainbow, ten or higher | 31.200 | 41.333 | -10.133 | 0.75484 | | 64s, rainbow, nine or lower | 67.331 | 41.333 | +25.998 | 1.62899 | | 64s, two-tone | 41.370 | 41.333 | +0.037 | 1.00090 | | 64s, monotone | 41.508 | 41.333 | +0.175 | 1.00423 | | 64s, paired | 37.069 | 41.333 | -4.264 | 0.89684 | ## Does a shared suit matter? Looking only at deals where the hands share a suit, KQo has 60.95%; looking only at deals where they do not, 59.52%. KQo does better with a shared suit, by 1.43 points. **KQo against 64s by suit overlap, in percent** | Deals | Specific deals | Share of deals | KQo wins | Ties | 64s wins | KQo equity | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Share a suit | 24 | 50.00 | 60.584 | 0.721 | 38.695 | 60.945 | | No shared suit | 24 | 50.00 | 59.200 | 0.640 | 40.160 | 59.520 | ## How often this matchup comes up Counting specific cards, KQo against 64s appears in 48 of the 1,624,350 ordered heads-up deals (0.0030%), and in 96 when the seats are swapped too (0.0059%). ## A worked example Say each player puts $100 in before the flop, making a $200 pot.
