Against one random hand it wins 44.99% of showdowns and takes 47.25% of the pot. ## What this hand is Nine-six of hearts. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 9c6c, 9d6d, 9s6s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class 96s 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 | 44.99 | 4.51 | 47.25 | | 2 | 30.39 | 3.53 | 31.98 | | 3 | 23.32 | 3.10 | 24.71 | | 4 | 18.97 | 2.87 | 20.25 | | 5 | 16.14 | 2.67 | 17.34 | | 6 | 14.06 | 2.56 | 15.20 | | 7 | 12.54 | 2.48 | 13.65 | 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 | 19.59 | 19.41 | 0.37 | 6 | | KK | 19.70 | 19.52 | 0.36 | 6 | | QQ | 19.48 | 19.30 | 0.36 | 6 | | JJ | 19.16 | 18.97 | 0.39 | 6 | | TT | 18.07 | 17.85 | 0.46 | 6 | | 77 | 33.41 | 32.97 | 0.87 | 6 | | 22 | 51.49 | 50.44 | 2.10 | 6 | | AKs | 36.55 | 36.31 | 0.48 | 4 | | AKo | 39.09 | 38.87 | 0.44 | 12 | | AQs | 36.58 | 36.34 | 0.47 | 4 | | JTs | 33.66 | 33.08 | 1.15 | 4 | | 76s | 66.22 | 61.70 | 9.04 | 3 | 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/9h6h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [9c6c](9c6c.md) · [9d6d](9d6d.md) · [9s6s](9s6s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
