Against one random hand it wins 41.22% of showdowns and takes 43.68% of the pot. ## What this hand is Nine-four of clubs. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 9d4d, 9h4h, 9s4s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class 94s 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 | 41.22 | 4.91 | 43.68 | | 2 | 26.58 | 3.56 | 28.19 | | 3 | 19.91 | 3.07 | 21.27 | | 4 | 16.04 | 2.79 | 17.28 | | 5 | 13.40 | 2.59 | 14.55 | | 6 | 11.68 | 2.46 | 12.77 | | 7 | 10.31 | 2.38 | 11.36 | 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 | 16.45 | 16.25 | 0.41 | 6 | | KK | 16.84 | 16.63 | 0.42 | 6 | | QQ | 16.62 | 16.41 | 0.42 | 6 | | JJ | 16.36 | 16.14 | 0.44 | 6 | | TT | 16.12 | 15.86 | 0.50 | 6 | | 77 | 32.26 | 31.79 | 0.92 | 6 | | 22 | 49.17 | 48.10 | 2.15 | 6 | | AKs | 34.10 | 33.84 | 0.53 | 4 | | AKo | 36.53 | 36.29 | 0.49 | 12 | | AQs | 34.13 | 33.87 | 0.52 | 4 | | JTs | 31.60 | 31.01 | 1.19 | 4 | | 76s | 54.44 | 52.98 | 2.92 | 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/9c4c $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [9d4d](9d4d.md) · [9h4h](9h4h.md) · [9s4s](9s4s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
