Against one random hand it wins 39.96% of showdowns and takes 42.49% of the pot. ## What this hand is Nine-five offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to 9c5d, 9c5h, 9c5s, 9d5c, 9d5h, 9d5s, 9h5c, 9h5d, 9h5s, 9s5c, 9s5h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class 95o 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 | 39.96 | 5.06 | 42.49 | | 2 | 24.76 | 3.76 | 26.47 | | 3 | 17.60 | 3.26 | 19.05 | | 4 | 13.38 | 3.04 | 14.74 | | 5 | 10.62 | 2.87 | 11.90 | | 6 | 8.73 | 2.69 | 9.92 | | 7 | 7.33 | 2.63 | 8.50 | 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 | 14.01 | 13.82 | 0.38 | 6 | | KK | 14.43 | 14.23 | 0.39 | 6 | | QQ | 14.19 | 14.00 | 0.39 | 6 | | JJ | 13.91 | 13.70 | 0.40 | 6 | | TT | 13.60 | 13.36 | 0.48 | 6 | | 77 | 29.50 | 29.04 | 0.92 | 6 | | 22 | 47.80 | 46.70 | 2.20 | 6 | | AKs | 32.35 | 32.11 | 0.48 | 4 | | AKo | 33.98 | 33.76 | 0.46 | 12 | | AQs | 32.39 | 32.16 | 0.47 | 4 | | JTs | 29.82 | 29.22 | 1.18 | 4 | | 76s | 53.05 | 51.55 | 3.00 | 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/9s5d $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [9c5d](9c5d.md) · [9c5h](9c5h.md) · [9c5s](9c5s.md) · [9d5c](9d5c.md) · [9d5h](9d5h.md) · [9d5s](9d5s.md) · [9h5c](9h5c.md) · [9h5d](9h5d.md) · [9h5s](9h5s.md) · [9s5c](9s5c.md) · [9s5h](9s5h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
