# Qd5h — queen-five offsuit

**Fold from every position when the pot is unopened.** Qd5h ranks 89 of the 169 distinct starting hands
(top 43.7%). Against one random hand it wins
47.79% of showdowns and takes 49.97% of the pot.

## What this hand is

Queen-five offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to
Qc5d, Qc5h, Qc5s, Qd5c, Qd5s, Qh5c, Qh5d, Qh5s, Qs5c, Qs5d, Qs5h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all
12 combinations in class Q5o 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 | 47.79 | 4.36 | 49.97 |
| 2 | 29.30 | 4.12 | 31.23 |
| 3 | 20.66 | 3.72 | 22.36 |
| 4 | 15.57 | 3.43 | 17.13 |
| 5 | 12.45 | 3.30 | 13.94 |
| 6 | 10.14 | 3.12 | 11.55 |
| 7 | 8.44 | 3.04 | 9.81 |

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 | 12.46 | 12.27 | 0.40 | 6 |
| KK | 12.47 | 12.27 | 0.41 | 6 |
| QQ | 6.96 | 5.96 | 1.99 | 3 |
| JJ | 28.10 | 27.90 | 0.40 | 6 |
| TT | 27.79 | 27.58 | 0.41 | 6 |
| 77 | 30.04 | 29.73 | 0.60 | 6 |
| 22 | 47.15 | 46.53 | 1.24 | 6 |
| AKs | 30.85 | 30.60 | 0.49 | 4 |
| AKo | 32.35 | 32.11 | 0.47 | 12 |
| AQs | 23.16 | 22.33 | 1.65 | 3 |
| JTs | 51.18 | 50.72 | 0.93 | 4 |
| 76s | 53.30 | 52.84 | 0.93 | 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.
