    Hey guys, thought you may be interested in this. It started as a standard list of the 169 possible starting hands ranked in order of chances of winning, however I changed direction slightly and it is now a little more unconventional than the normal list. The list itself shows all of the possible starting hands, ranked in order from best to worst, with your chances of winning vs 8 opponents, vs 4 opponents and heads up. Where I have deviated from the standard list which just ranks based on a full table is that while I've weighted the list towards a full table, where you have several hands which are extremely close in chances of winning at a full table, close enough where the difference is negligible, I have looked at the hands overall chances of winning when you have fewer opponents and ranked the hands accordingly. An example of this is the final three hands 72, 62 and 32. Most lists based on full tables will always rank 72 last, however the three hands are so close in EV at a full table that the difference is negligible, when you start to decrease the number of opponents though, 72 is a significantly better hand than 32, thus I have ranked them in the order of 72-62-32.

    Anyhow check it out if you like, I don't mind if anyone wants to use this list on another site, however please let me know first and please give credit to the source, it did take quite some time and effort to put together, thanks.

    I ventured into the depths of the forum again and I found this old post...

    It's a very good list of the ranking of Hold em starting hands.

    Good list Buckshot,  if you're still around here somewhere to read this post.
