# 5c2d — five-two offsuit

**Fold from every position when the pot is unopened.** 5c2d ranks 166 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 95.2%). Against one random hand it wins
31.19% of showdowns and takes 34.26% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Five-two offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
5c2h, 5c2s, 5d2c, 5d2h, 5d2s, 5h2c, 5h2d, 5h2s, 5s2c, 5s2d, 5s2h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
12 combinations in class 52o 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 | 31.19 | 6.13 | 34.26 |
| 2 | 19.95 | 3.44 | 21.44 |
| 3 | 14.26 | 2.81 | 15.47 |
| 4 | 11.08 | 2.43 | 12.13 |
| 5 | 9.02 | 2.16 | 9.96 |

| 7 | 6.80 | 1.92 | 7.64 |

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 | 13.67 | 13.43 | 0.48 | 6 |
| KK | 15.19 | 14.95 | 0.48 | 6 |
| QQ | 15.19 | 14.95 | 0.47 | 6 |
| JJ | 15.19 | 14.95 | 0.48 | 6 |
| TT | 14.78 | 14.51 | 0.56 | 6 |
| 77 | 14.76 | 14.05 | 1.42 | 6 |
| 22 | 34.64 | 32.03 | 5.22 | 3 |
| AKs | 33.18 | 32.89 | 0.57 | 4 |
| AKo | 34.83 | 34.55 | 0.55 | 12 |
| AQs | 33.10 | 32.82 | 0.56 | 4 |
| JTs | 31.71 | 31.09 | 1.23 | 4 |
| 76s | 32.81 | 29.15 | 7.31 | 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.
