# Kd5d — king-five of diamonds

**Open-raise from the button onward; fold it in earlier seats.** Kd5d ranks 54 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 26.1%). Against one random hand it wins
53.72% of showdowns and takes 55.70% of the pot.

## What this hand is

King-five of diamonds. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
Kc5c, Kh5h, Ks5s — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
4 combinations in class K5s 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 | 53.72 | 3.96 | 55.70 |
| 2 | 35.46 | 4.04 | 37.38 |
| 3 | 26.54 | 3.70 | 28.24 |
| 4 | 21.37 | 3.41 | 22.93 |
| 5 | 17.90 | 3.30 | 19.41 |
| 6 | 15.57 | 3.17 | 17.01 |
| 7 | 13.83 | 3.06 | 15.21 |

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 | 16.24 | 16.03 | 0.43 | 6 |
| KK | 12.00 | 11.31 | 1.38 | 3 |
| QQ | 31.79 | 31.57 | 0.43 | 6 |
| JJ | 31.81 | 31.60 | 0.42 | 6 |
| TT | 31.53 | 31.32 | 0.42 | 6 |
| 77 | 33.17 | 32.91 | 0.51 | 6 |
| 22 | 49.51 | 49.03 | 0.95 | 6 |
| AKs | 27.27 | 26.64 | 1.24 | 3 |
| AKo | 28.24 | 27.62 | 1.24 | 9 |
| AQs | 36.76 | 36.50 | 0.53 | 4 |
| JTs | 54.00 | 53.64 | 0.72 | 4 |
| 76s | 55.79 | 55.44 | 0.71 | 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.
