Against one random hand it wins 30.03% of showdowns and takes 33.09% of the pot. ## What this hand is Four-two offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 4c2d, 4c2h, 4d2c, 4d2h, 4d2s, 4h2c, 4h2d, 4h2s, 4s2c, 4s2d, 4s2h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 42o share the numbers below. That stops being true the moment the board has suits, which is what the paid record covers. ## Equity against random opponents | Opponents | Win % | Tie % | Pot equity % | | --------- | ----- | ----- | ------------ | | 1 | 30.03 | 6.12 | 33.09 | | 2 | 19.22 | 3.27 | 20.63 | | 3 | 13.70 | 2.61 | 14.81 | | 4 | 10.57 | 2.24 | 11.52 | | 5 | 8.68 | 1.96 | 9.53 | | 6 | 7.55 | 1.80 | 8.33 | | 7 | 6.59 | 1.70 | 7.33 | Monte Carlo, 400,000 trials per row, seed 1 — same seed, same digits. "Pot equity" counts outright wins plus a share of split pots, which is the number to compare against pot odds. ## Head-to-head, exact Against the opponent's whole hand class, not one chosen pair of cards: every combination of it you do not block, each enumerated over all 1,712,304 boards. No sampling. "Combos" is how many were averaged. | Against | Hero pot equity % | Hero win % | Split % | Combos | | ------- | ----------------- | ---------- | ------- | ------ | | AA | 13.23 | 12.98 | 0.50 | 6 | | KK | 14.75 | 14.50 | 0.50 | 6 | | QQ | 14.74 | 14.50 | 0.49 | 6 | | JJ | 14.75 | 14.50 | 0.50 | 6 | | TT | 14.78 | 14.50 | 0.56 | 6 | | 77 | 14.55 | 13.84 | 1.43 | 6 | | 22 | 34.04 | 31.21 | 5.66 | 3 | | AKs | 32.81 | 32.51 | 0.59 | 4 | | AKo | 34.43 | 34.15 | 0.57 | 12 | | AQs | 32.73 | 32.44 | 0.58 | 4 | | JTs | 31.66 | 31.04 | 1.23 | 4 | | 76s | 33.05 | 29.43 | 7.23 | 4 | Averaging matters here. Against a single representative the answer shifts with the suits — J♣T♣ takes 17.77% against Q♣Q♦ but 18.89% against Q♠Q♦, because the shared club both blocks a flush and removes cards. Averaged over the class the figure is the same whichever suits you hold, which is what makes it quotable. ## What this page cannot tell you Pre-flop equity is not a strategy. It ignores stack depth, bet sizing, and how your opponents actually play. The verdict above is a conventional opening chart, not solver output. Equity against a random hand is also not equity against a range: an opponent who raises has better than random cards, and this page does not model that. ## The full record Equity against modelled ranges (top 5/10/20/40%), position-by-position guidance, and the suit-specific analysis for this exact combination: GET https://poketpoker.com/api/hands/4c2s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [4c2d](4c2d.md) · [4c2h](4c2h.md) · [4d2c](4d2c.md) · [4d2h](4d2h.md) · [4d2s](4d2s.md) · [4h2c](4h2c.md) · [4h2d](4h2d.md) · [4h2s](4h2s.md) · [4s2c](4s2c.md) · [4s2d](4s2d.md) · [4s2h](4s2h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
