Against one random hand it wins 33.83% of showdowns and takes 36.72% of the pot. ## What this hand is Four-two of diamonds. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 4c2c, 4h2h, 4s2s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class 42s 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 | 33.83 | 5.79 | 36.72 | | 2 | 23.29 | 3.15 | 24.64 | | 3 | 17.85 | 2.50 | 18.91 | | 4 | 14.72 | 2.15 | 15.64 | | 5 | 12.77 | 1.88 | 13.58 | | 6 | 11.56 | 1.72 | 12.30 | | 7 | 10.42 | 1.63 | 11.12 | 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 | 17.40 | 17.15 | 0.49 | 6 | | KK | 18.82 | 18.57 | 0.49 | 6 | | QQ | 18.81 | 18.57 | 0.48 | 6 | | JJ | 18.82 | 18.57 | 0.49 | 6 | | TT | 18.85 | 18.57 | 0.55 | 6 | | 77 | 18.63 | 17.95 | 1.36 | 6 | | 22 | 37.77 | 35.09 | 5.37 | 3 | | AKs | 35.79 | 35.49 | 0.60 | 4 | | AKo | 38.25 | 37.97 | 0.56 | 12 | | AQs | 35.71 | 35.41 | 0.59 | 4 | | JTs | 34.67 | 34.06 | 1.21 | 4 | | 76s | 35.92 | 32.49 | 6.86 | 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/4d2d $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [4c2c](4c2c.md) · [4h2h](4h2h.md) · [4s2s](4s2s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
