Texas Holdem Strategy
TEXAS HOLD ‘EM STARTING HAND WINNING PERCENTAGES
Starting hands refers to the two hole cards you’re dealt. T = 10, J = Jack, Q = Queen, K = King and A = Ace. A small ‘s’ beside a hand indicates those cards are suited (no ‘s’ means the cards are of any suit). For example, AKs means an Ace and King of the same suit.
The following numbers are the result of computer simulations involving all the different hands and while accurate, it should be noted that the numbers will vary slightly in regular play.
