Starting Hands by Rank

7- 10 players

There are too many variables for this list of starting hands to be perfect for every game. And should therefore be used as an general guideline.

All non paired hands listed represent the suited and off-suited version. The suited version ranks slightly higher than off-suited by about 5%
(AK suited over AK off-suit ).


Group 1 Premium
AA- KK
Group 2 Strong
AK- QQ- JJ

Group 3 Good
AQ- 1010- 99- 88


Group 4 Marginal
AJ- KQ- 77- 66- 55
Group 5 Marginal
A10- KJ- K10- 44- 33
Group 6 Weak
A9- QJ- Q10- J10- 22
Group 7 Weak
A8- K9- Q9- J9 and lower

This page is a commonly accepted ranking of hands. I personally rank medium pocket pairs higher than AQ in a 7 to 10 handed game along with other changes. For more on this area visit How to Rank Starting Hands.
