# 5d3d — five-three of diamonds

**Fold from every position when the pot is unopened.** 5d3d ranks 146 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 82.5%). Against one random hand it wins
36.76% of showdowns and takes 39.69% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Five-three of diamonds. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
5c3c, 5h3h, 5s3s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
4 combinations in class 53s 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 % |

| 2 | 25.76 | 3.45 | 27.26 |
| 3 | 19.93 | 2.83 | 21.16 |

| 7 | 11.60 | 2.08 | 12.51 |

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 | 19.45 | 19.22 | 0.46 | 6 |
| KK | 20.87 | 20.64 | 0.47 | 6 |
| QQ | 20.87 | 20.64 | 0.46 | 6 |
| JJ | 20.87 | 20.64 | 0.47 | 6 |
| TT | 20.50 | 20.23 | 0.54 | 6 |
| 77 | 19.61 | 18.94 | 1.35 | 6 |
| 22 | 50.23 | 48.47 | 3.52 | 6 |
| AKs | 37.40 | 37.12 | 0.57 | 4 |
| AKo | 39.94 | 39.67 | 0.53 | 12 |
| AQs | 37.32 | 37.04 | 0.56 | 4 |
| JTs | 35.98 | 35.38 | 1.19 | 4 |
| 76s | 36.92 | 33.45 | 6.94 | 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.
