Against one random hand it wins 53.84% of showdowns and takes 55.37% of the pot. ## What this hand is Queen-nine offsuit. Before any board card is dealt its odds are identical to Qc9d, Qc9h, Qc9s, Qd9c, Qd9h, Qd9s, Qh9c, Qh9s, Qs9c, Qs9d, Qs9h — suits are interchangeable pre-flop, so all 12 combinations in class Q9o 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 | 53.84 | 3.05 | 55.37 | | 2 | 35.96 | 3.09 | 37.39 | | 3 | 27.04 | 2.98 | 28.39 | | 4 | 21.39 | 2.82 | 22.67 | | 5 | 17.66 | 2.76 | 18.90 | | 6 | 14.91 | 2.67 | 16.11 | | 7 | 12.68 | 2.65 | 13.87 | 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 | 14.88 | 14.70 | 0.36 | 6 | | KK | 13.68 | 13.49 | 0.39 | 6 | | QQ | 9.35 | 8.47 | 1.74 | 3 | | JJ | 28.53 | 28.34 | 0.38 | 6 | | TT | 28.41 | 28.22 | 0.39 | 6 | | 77 | 46.13 | 45.89 | 0.49 | 6 | | 22 | 49.32 | 48.74 | 1.17 | 6 | | AKs | 32.59 | 32.35 | 0.47 | 4 | | AKo | 34.19 | 33.96 | 0.45 | 12 | | AQs | 24.27 | 23.51 | 1.52 | 3 | | JTs | 54.36 | 53.91 | 0.91 | 4 | | 76s | 59.55 | 59.11 | 0.87 | 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/Qh9d $0.01 USDC (x402) ## Related - Suit-equivalents: [Qc9d](Qc9d.md) · [Qc9h](Qc9h.md) · [Qc9s](Qc9s.md) · [Qd9c](Qd9c.md) · [Qd9h](Qd9h.md) · [Qd9s](Qd9s.md) · [Qh9c](Qh9c.md) · [Qh9s](Qh9s.md) · [Qs9c](Qs9c.md) · [Qs9d](Qs9d.md) · [Qs9h](Qs9h.md) - All 1,326 hands: [index](index.md) - URL convention: `/hands/.md`, higher rank first, suits ordered c, d, h, s.
