Against one random hand it wins 47.00% of showdowns and takes 49.10% of the pot. ## What this hand is Nine-seven of hearts. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 9c7c, 9d7d, 9s7s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 4 combinations in class 97s 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 | 47.00 | 4.20 | 49.10 | | 2 | 32.41 | 3.39 | 33.93 | | 3 | 25.23 | 3.00 | 26.57 | | 4 | 20.67 | 2.86 | 21.95 | | 5 | 17.69 | 2.65 | 18.88 | | 6 | 15.39 | 2.54 | 16.52 | | 7 | 13.77 | 2.43 | 14.86 | 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 | 20.82 | 20.65 | 0.35 | 6 | | KK | 20.94 | 20.76 | 0.37 | 6 | | QQ | 20.62 | 20.43 | 0.37 | 6 | | JJ | 19.55 | 19.36 | 0.39 | 6 | | TT | 18.21 | 17.98 | 0.46 | 6 | | 77 | 38.22 | 37.04 | 2.37 | 3 | | 22 | 52.73 | 51.69 | 2.08 | 6 | | AKs | 37.40 | 37.17 | 0.47 | 4 | | AKo | 39.97 | 39.76 | 0.43 | 12 | | AQs | 37.10 | 36.86 | 0.47 | 4 | | JTs | 34.59 | 34.01 | 1.15 | 4 | | 76s | 66.81 | 62.11 | 9.41 | 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/9h7h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [9c7c](9c7c.md) · [9d7d](9d7d.md) · [9s7s](9s7s.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
