The one-opponent values are exact. Two to eight opponents use 100,000 seeded deals per point; small differences can be sampling noise. All opponents have random hands. These curves do not measure profit or account for position, betting or opponents folding.
86s versus 86o: what suited changes
Against a random hand, 86s has 46.24% and 86o has 43.24%: a 3.00 percentage-point advantage for 86s. This is showdown equity, not a prediction of profit.
Exact flop probabilities for suited and offsuit starting hands
All 19,600 flops are counted. A flush draw has four cards of one suit, uses at least one hole card, and has not already made a flush or better. The flush column excludes straight flushes.

How to play 86s
Suited cards close in rank make straights and flushes more often than other unpaired hands, and seldom make a strong one pair.
First in
Raise from the button; fold from under the gun, middle position, the cutoff and the small blind.
Facing a raise
Call from the big blind; fold from middle position, the cutoff, the button and the small blind.
Facing a 3-bet
Fold from under the gun, middle position, the cutoff and the big blind; call 75% and fold 25% from the button.
From the six-handed 100bb charts. A percentage means the chart mixes actions with this hand.
Six-handed cash charts at 100 big blinds. A spot marked mix plays 86s more than one way.
Where these numbers come from
Heads-up equity comes from the same preflop table the odds calculator uses, which averages each pair of hands over every board and suit pattern. Against a random hand, your own two cards make some hands less likely: holding an ace leaves three aces for the other player, so each hand counts once for every way it can still be dealt. Equity against several players is sampled with a fixed seed, so it can move by a few tenths of a point from the exact figure. The flop figures count every one of the 19,600 flops.
