Pocket 88 Odds at a 9-Player Table

Simulated across 100,000 random deals, Pocket 88 wins 15.53% of hands against 8 random opponents, ties 0.88% of the time, and loses the remaining 83.59%. A completely random hand would win about 11.1% of the time at this table size — Pocket 88 is a modestly favorable hand at this table size.

As a pocket pair, Pocket 88 starts with immediate made-hand value and doesn’t rely on the board pairing to stay ahead, though with more players in the hand there’s more chance someone draws out with two pair, trips, or better.
