Methodology:
This table is the result of a random simulation of 68,612,544,000 games and assumes all players stay in until the end of the hand.
The following table shows my power rating for each initial 2-card hand in a 3-player game. The numbers are on a 0 to 40 scale. Use the top table if you have a pair, the middle table if your cards are suited, and the bottom table if your cards are unsuited. Except for a pair,look up your high card along the left and your low card along the top.
