Against one random hand it wins 56.39% of showdowns and takes 57.79% of the pot. ## What this hand is King-nine offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Kc9d, Kc9h, Kc9s, Kd9c, Kd9h, Kd9s, Kh9c, Kh9d, Ks9c, Ks9d, Ks9h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class K9o 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 | 56.39 | 2.79 | 57.79 | | 2 | 37.71 | 3.11 | 39.16 | | 3 | 28.07 | 3.05 | 29.47 | | 4 | 22.15 | 2.93 | 23.48 | | 5 | 18.09 | 2.85 | 19.39 | | 6 | 15.30 | 2.75 | 16.54 | | 7 | 12.99 | 2.72 | 14.21 | 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 | 13.13 | 12.94 | 0.37 | 6 | | KK | 7.66 | 7.00 | 1.31 | 3 | | QQ | 28.21 | 28.02 | 0.39 | 6 | | JJ | 28.03 | 27.84 | 0.38 | 6 | | TT | 27.92 | 27.73 | 0.38 | 6 | | 77 | 44.43 | 44.22 | 0.42 | 6 | | 22 | 48.27 | 47.83 | 0.88 | 6 | | AKs | 22.97 | 22.36 | 1.21 | 3 | | AKo | 23.76 | 23.15 | 1.22 | 9 | | AQs | 34.40 | 34.17 | 0.47 | 4 | | JTs | 53.50 | 53.17 | 0.67 | 4 | | 76s | 59.04 | 58.72 | 0.63 | 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/Kh9s $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Kc9d](Kc9d.md) · [Kc9h](Kc9h.md) · [Kc9s](Kc9s.md) · [Kd9c](Kd9c.md) · [Kd9h](Kd9h.md) · [Kd9s](Kd9s.md) · [Kh9c](Kh9c.md) · [Kh9d](Kh9d.md) · [Ks9c](Ks9c.md) · [Ks9d](Ks9d.md) · [Ks9h](Ks9h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
