The range this is computed against

The rock at the table: 77+, ATs+, KQs and AJo+, a shade under 8% of hands. A nit almost never has a marginal holding — when they put money in voluntarily, the range is close to this and their bluff frequency is close to zero.

nit — 104 combos, 7.8% of all starting hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, AKs, AQs, AJs, ATs, KQs, AKo, AQo, AJo

After card removal, 101 of those 104 combos are still available (3 are blocked by the cards 76s holds). 76s is ahead of 0 and behind 101.

Easiest parts of the range for 76s

Against a nit's range (104 combos, 7.8% of all hands), 76s runs at 31.6%. It wins 31.4% of runouts outright, loses 68.1% and splits the remaining 0.6%. Your own two cards remove 3 of those combos before the flop is even dealt — a blocker effect this number already accounts for, because every combo containing one of your exact cards is stripped out of the range first. There is not one combo in the range that 76s is a favourite against: all 101 live combos are in front of it. A range-average of 31.6% here is not an average of good spots and bad ones — every spot is a bad one.

The rock at the table: 77+, ATs+, KQs and AJo+, a shade under 8% of hands. A nit almost never has a marginal holding — when they put money in voluntarily, the range is close to this and their bluff frequency is close to zero. Inside that range, the combos that hurt 76s most are 77 (18.3%), 88 (18.5%) and 99 (19.8%); the ones you want to see are AKo (41.6%), AQo (41.2%) and AJo (40.8%). Across the whole range 76s's equity swings from 18.3% at the bottom to 41.6% at the top — the single 31.6% headline is the combo-weighted average of all of it.

Against a nit, the range is the whole story: 7.8% of hands, no bluffs, and 76s at 31.6%. 31.6% against a range with no bluffs in it means folding is not weak, it is correct. The classic leak is paying off a rock with a hand that is "too good to fold".

76s vs nit FAQ

What is 76s's equity against a nit's range?

76s has 31.6% equity all-in preflop against a nit's range — it wins 31.4% of runouts outright, loses 68.1% and chops 0.6%. The range holds 104 combos (7.8% of all hands); 76s blocks 3 of them, leaving 101 live. This is exact full board enumeration, not a simulation.

Which hands in a nit's range beat 76s?

All of them — 76s is behind every one of the 101 live combos. The worst are 77 (18.3%), 88 (18.5%) and 99 (19.8%), and the closest it gets is AKo (41.6%), AQo (41.2%) and AJo (40.8%). Every figure is exact, computed against that hand's unblocked combos only.

What hands are in a nit's range?

16 hand classes and 104 combos — 7.8% of the 1,326 possible starting hands. By combo count it is 46% pocket pairs (8 pairs, 48 combos), 19% suited hands (5 classes, 20 combos) and 35% offsuit hands (3 classes, 36 combos). That shape is why 76s runs at 31.6% 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.
