Against one random hand it wins 59.55% of showdowns and takes 60.24% of the pot. ## What this hand is Pocket fives (diamonds and spades). Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 5c5d, 5c5h, 5c5s, 5d5h, 5h5s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 6 combinations in class 55 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 | 59.55 | 1.38 | 60.24 | | 2 | 39.54 | 1.06 | 39.96 | | 3 | 28.56 | 0.95 | 28.91 | | 4 | 22.09 | 0.87 | 22.41 | | 5 | 18.27 | 0.88 | 18.61 | | 6 | 15.66 | 0.84 | 15.99 | | 7 | 14.13 | 0.87 | 14.48 | 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 | 19.11 | 18.90 | 0.41 | 6 | | KK | 19.52 | 19.31 | 0.42 | 6 | | QQ | 19.48 | 19.28 | 0.40 | 6 | | JJ | 19.46 | 19.25 | 0.42 | 6 | | TT | 19.04 | 18.79 | 0.51 | 6 | | 77 | 18.76 | 18.07 | 1.38 | 6 | | 22 | 81.57 | 80.17 | 2.80 | 6 | | AKs | 51.97 | 51.73 | 0.48 | 4 | | AKo | 54.62 | 54.39 | 0.46 | 12 | | AQs | 51.64 | 51.41 | 0.47 | 4 | | JTs | 47.68 | 47.28 | 0.78 | 4 | | 76s | 50.59 | 49.86 | 1.45 | 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/5d5s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [5c5d](5c5d.md) · [5c5h](5c5h.md) · [5c5s](5c5s.md) · [5d5h](5d5h.md) · [5h5s](5h5s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
