Power Rankings for Four Players in Texas Hold ’Em

Introduction

The table below organizes the strongest hands in a game with four participants, assuming that all players continue to play until the hand reaches its conclusion.

Explanation of column headings:

Cards: Initial two-card hand.
Winning Probability: This figure indicates the likelihood that the hand will either secure a victory or tie with another hand for the win.
Average Payout: This represents the expected amount a player stands to gain on average, factored in with their initial bets, when they do win. This figure is below 4 as there are times when winnings need to be divided among players.
Expected Gain: This indicates the average number of units a player can expect to win (if positive) or lose (if negative) with their current hand. For instance, if a player holds a pair of aces and has put in $1 into the pot, they might anticipate a net gain of $1.55.
Hand Probability: This denotes the chance of being dealt this hand initially.
Cumulative Probability: This highlights the odds of acquiring this hand or any better hand right from the start.

Methodology

This table is derived from a random simulation that analyzed 38,594,556,000 games, under the assumption that every player remains engaged until the hand concludes.

The subsequent table presents my power assessments for each initial two-card hand in a four-player game, rated on a scale from 0 to 40. Use the top section if you have a pair, the middle section for suited cards, and the bottom section for unmatched cards. Besides pairs, align your high card on the left and your low card along the top.
