Classic preflop matchups
Well-known preflop showdowns. Each number is exact: every possible five-card board (1,712,304 of them) was enumerated for one representative combination, using the same hand evaluation as this calculator. AK is offsuit unless marked suited; suits matter a little, so other combinations shift the numbers by a fraction of a percent.
| Matchup | Favourite equity | Underdog equity |
|---|---|---|
| AA vs KK | AA · 81.3% | KK · 18.7% |
| AK vs QQ (coin flip) | QQ · 57.2% | AK · 42.8% |
| AK vs AQ (dominated) | AK · 74.0% | AQ · 26.0% |
| AA vs AK | AA · 92.6% | AK · 7.4% |
| 22 vs AK (coin flip) | 22 · 53.0% | AK · 47.0% |
| AK suited vs 76 suited | AKs · 60.4% | 76s · 39.6% |
Common questions
- What is equity in poker?
- Equity is the share of the pot your hand expects to win on average if the hand were played out from here to showdown many times. It combines your win percentage with half of your tie percentage: equity = win% + tie% / 2.
- How does this calculator work?
- Against a specific opponent hand, the flop, turn, and river are enumerated exactly: every remaining card combination is checked, so the number is not an estimate. Preflop, and against random opponents, it runs a seeded Monte Carlo simulation over 25,000 dealt runouts, and the result panel always labels which method produced the number. It uses the same hand-evaluation library that powers the photo analyzer, so the numbers match across the site.
- What is a coin flip in poker?
- A coin flip is a preflop matchup between a pocket pair and two overcards, such as QQ against AK, where neither hand is a big favourite. See the matchup table above for the exact numbers.
- How do equity and pot odds work together?
- Equity is what your hand actually has. Pot odds are what your hand needs to make a profitable call. Work out your equity here, then compare it to the required equity from the pot-odds calculator: call when your equity is higher, fold when it is lower.
