Against one random hand it wins 33.17% of showdowns and takes 36.26% of the pot. ## What this hand is Five-three offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 5c3d, 5c3h, 5c3s, 5d3c, 5d3h, 5d3s, 5h3d, 5h3s, 5s3c, 5s3d, 5s3h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 53o 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 | 33.17 | 6.18 | 36.26 | | 2 | 21.89 | 3.58 | 23.45 | | 3 | 15.92 | 2.95 | 17.20 | | 4 | 12.50 | 2.54 | 13.61 | | 5 | 10.38 | 2.34 | 11.41 | | 6 | 8.95 | 2.23 | 9.93 | | 7 | 7.83 | 2.17 | 8.79 | 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 | 15.43 | 15.20 | 0.46 | 6 | | KK | 16.95 | 16.72 | 0.46 | 6 | | QQ | 16.94 | 16.72 | 0.45 | 6 | | JJ | 16.95 | 16.72 | 0.46 | 6 | | TT | 16.54 | 16.27 | 0.54 | 6 | | 77 | 15.60 | 14.90 | 1.40 | 6 | | 22 | 47.70 | 45.86 | 3.69 | 6 | | AKs | 34.52 | 34.24 | 0.55 | 4 | | AKo | 36.24 | 35.98 | 0.53 | 12 | | AQs | 34.43 | 34.16 | 0.54 | 4 | | JTs | 33.04 | 32.44 | 1.20 | 4 | | 76s | 34.14 | 30.49 | 7.29 | 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/5h3c $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [5c3d](5c3d.md) · [5c3h](5c3h.md) · [5c3s](5c3s.md) · [5d3c](5d3c.md) · [5d3h](5d3h.md) · [5d3s](5d3s.md) · [5h3d](5h3d.md) · [5h3s](5h3s.md) · [5s3c](5s3c.md) · [5s3d](5s3d.md) · [5s3h](5s3h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
