76s vs a 4-betting range: Equity & Strategy

Seven-Six Suited (76s) has 33.6% equity all-in preflop against a 4-betting range — 42 combos, 3.2% of all starting hands. It wins 33.4% of runouts outright, loses 66.2% and chops 0.4%. These are exact figures from full board enumeration against every unblocked combo in the range, not a simulation.

The range this is computed against

Four-betting is the tightest voluntary action in preflop poker. The standard construction is QQ+ and AK for value plus a token pair of blocker bluffs — A5s and A4s, which remove combos of AA and AK from the opponent's continuing range and still flop wheel and nut-flush draws when called. About 3% of hands.

4-bet — 42 combos, 3.2% of all starting hands: AA, KK, QQ, AKs, A5s, A4s, AKo

After card removal, 42 of those 42 combos are still available (0 are blocked by the cards 76s holds). 76s is ahead of 0 and behind 42.

Easiest parts of the range for 76s

76s has 33.6% equity all-in preflop against a 4-betting range — 42 combos, 3.2% of all hands. Seven-Six Suited wins the pot outright 33.4% of the time, loses 66.2% and chops 0.4%. None of the range's combos share a card with 76s, so all 42 of them are live in this calculation. There is not one combo in the range that 76s is a favourite against: all 42 live combos are in front of it. A range-average of 33.6% here is not an average of good spots and bad ones — every spot is a bad one.

The range behind this number is not a guess. Four-betting is the tightest voluntary action in preflop poker. The standard construction is QQ+ and AK for value plus a token pair of blocker bluffs — A5s and A4s, which remove combos of AA and AK from the opponent's continuing range and still flop wheel and nut-flush draws when called. About 3% of hands. 76s's worst spots in it are QQ (22.1%), AA (22.5%) and KK (22.5%) — and its best are A4s (44.5%), A5s (43.9%) and AKo (41.6%). Across the whole range 76s's equity swings from 22.1% at the bottom to 44.5% at the top — the single 33.6% headline is the combo-weighted average of all of it.

A 4-bet is the tightest action in preflop poker, and 33.6% reflects that: 76s is behind, and against a range this narrow the only sane options are 5-bet-jam with the right blockers or fold. There is no flat-and-outplay-them line against 3.2% of hands with the stacks a 4-bet creates.

76s vs 4-bet FAQ

What is 76s's equity against a 4-betting range?

76s has 33.6% equity all-in preflop against a 4-betting range — it wins 33.4% of runouts outright, loses 66.2% and chops 0.4%. The range holds 42 combos (3.2% of all hands); all 42 are live. This is exact full board enumeration, not a simulation.

Which hands in a 4-betting range beat 76s?

All of them — 76s is behind every one of the 42 live combos. The worst are QQ (22.1%), AA (22.5%) and KK (22.5%), and the closest it gets is A4s (44.5%), A5s (43.9%) and AKo (41.6%). Every figure is exact, computed against that hand's unblocked combos only.

What hands are in a 4-betting range?

7 hand classes and 42 combos — 3.2% of the 1,326 possible starting hands. By combo count it is 43% pocket pairs (3 pairs, 18 combos), 29% suited hands (3 classes, 12 combos) and 29% offsuit hands (1 classes, 12 combos). That shape is why 76s runs at 33.6% against it rather than against a random hand.

Does 76s do better against a wider or a tighter range?

Wider, almost always. 76s has 40.4% equity against a loose-passive calling range (50.5% of hands) but 33.6% against a 4-betting range (3.2%). Equity against a range is mostly a question of how many weak hands the range still contains — which is why the same holding can be a monster against a button open and a fold against a 4-bet.
