# Jc9s — jack-nine offsuit

**Open-raise from button; fold it elsewhere.** Jc9s ranks 69 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 37.4%). Against one random hand it wins
51.63% of showdowns and takes 53.25% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Jack-nine offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
Jc9d, Jc9h, Jd9c, Jd9h, Jd9s, Jh9c, Jh9d, Jh9s, Js9c, Js9d, Js9h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
12 combinations in class J9o 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 | 51.63 | 3.24 | 53.25 |
| 2 | 34.79 | 3.14 | 36.23 |
| 3 | 26.45 | 2.96 | 27.78 |
| 4 | 21.13 | 2.92 | 22.44 |
| 5 | 17.52 | 2.81 | 18.79 |
| 6 | 14.75 | 2.76 | 15.99 |
| 7 | 12.70 | 2.76 | 13.95 |

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 | 16.64 | 16.46 | 0.35 | 6 |
| KK | 15.44 | 15.25 | 0.38 | 6 |
| QQ | 13.96 | 13.77 | 0.37 | 6 |
| JJ | 11.07 | 9.95 | 2.25 | 3 |
| TT | 28.91 | 28.70 | 0.41 | 6 |
| 77 | 46.60 | 46.33 | 0.53 | 6 |
| 22 | 50.37 | 49.64 | 1.46 | 6 |
| AKs | 33.87 | 33.64 | 0.46 | 4 |
| AKo | 35.55 | 35.33 | 0.44 | 12 |
| AQs | 33.71 | 33.48 | 0.45 | 4 |
| JTs | 27.09 | 21.88 | 10.41 | 3 |
| 76s | 60.59 | 59.97 | 1.24 | 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.
