Preflop Poker Odds Chart

This 13x13 grid represents all 169 unique starting hand combinations in Texas Hold'em. Pocket pairs run along the diagonal (AA top-left to 22 bottom-right). Suited hands appear above the diagonal, and offsuit hands below it.

Equity vs. random hand shows how often each starting hand wins against a completely random opposing hand. While real opponents play selectively, this baseline helps you understand relative hand strength. AA wins about 85% of the time while 72o wins only about 43%.

Suited vs. offsuit: Suited hands gain roughly 2-4% equity over their offsuit counterparts because they can make flushes. This edge compounds post-flop, making suited hands significantly more playable, especially from earlier positions.

Position matters: The closer you are to the button, the wider your playable range becomes. From early position, stick to premium and strong hands. From the button, you can profitably open a much wider range because you will have position for the rest of the hand, giving you an informational advantage on every street.
