Against one random hand it wins 59.34% of showdowns and takes 60.66% of the pot. ## What this hand is Ace-nine offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Ac9d, Ac9s, Ad9c, Ad9h, Ad9s, Ah9c, Ah9d, Ah9s, As9c, As9d, As9h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class A9o 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 | 59.34 | 2.66 | 60.66 | | 2 | 39.97 | 3.21 | 41.50 | | 3 | 29.58 | 3.27 | 31.11 | | 4 | 23.13 | 3.24 | 24.62 | | 5 | 18.75 | 3.15 | 20.20 | | 6 | 15.67 | 3.04 | 17.05 | | 7 | 13.29 | 3.02 | 14.66 | 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 | 6.22 | 5.52 | 1.39 | 3 | | KK | 28.36 | 28.17 | 0.38 | 6 | | QQ | 28.10 | 27.91 | 0.38 | 6 | | JJ | 27.92 | 27.74 | 0.37 | 6 | | TT | 27.81 | 27.63 | 0.36 | 6 | | 77 | 43.61 | 43.42 | 0.37 | 6 | | 22 | 47.15 | 46.87 | 0.57 | 6 | | AKs | 24.61 | 22.36 | 4.50 | 3 | | AKo | 25.76 | 23.39 | 4.73 | 9 | | AQs | 25.17 | 22.38 | 5.59 | 3 | | JTs | 52.72 | 52.50 | 0.44 | 4 | | 76s | 58.67 | 58.46 | 0.42 | 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/Ac9h $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Ac9d](Ac9d.md) · [Ac9s](Ac9s.md) · [Ad9c](Ad9c.md) · [Ad9h](Ad9h.md) · [Ad9s](Ad9s.md) · [Ah9c](Ah9c.md) · [Ah9d](Ah9d.md) · [Ah9s](Ah9s.md) · [As9c](As9c.md) · [As9d](As9d.md) · [As9h](As9h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
