Here are the percentages:

1st [9h,8h] 30%,
2nd [Ac,Kd] 27%,
3rd [5c,5d] 26%,
4th [Ks,Jd] 17%

I was surprised by the results myself when I put them through my odds calculator. I have two calculators and they gave the same result so I'm taking it as absolutely correct.

All those who placed [Ks,Jd] last in 4th, well done. This hand is totally dominated by the AKo. Which was most of you got.

Nice one Gr8Scott for putting the suited connectors in at 1st. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the choice.

If you notice none of the other hole cards contain a heart making the odds of a flush better for the [9h,8h] . However this hand stands up very well in a multi-way situation even when some other hole are cards are the same suit.

Congrats to Metsar who came very close to getting them in the exact order. I'll be dogding any heads up confrontations with you at the tables in future unless I got the nuts.

So next time your getting yourself into a raised multi-way pot stick with your suited connectors and dump those dominated horror shows like KJ offsuit.

Hope you enjoyed that. Best regards to all

Jules, I agree with your odds when you include all of the hands in the calculation, but if each hand were evaluated without knowing what the other hands had, which is what is relevant for betting, wouldn't you get different results? An odds table I used based on 4 players showed, AK, KJ, 55, 98s in that order.

Now most of the people here think 89 suited is the best hand ever. Good job.

Glenn, thanks for the reply. The original question was to put the hands in order from best to worst with full knowledge of what all four pairs hole cards are.
