32o

32o (three-deuce offsuit) wins 32.3% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 169th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 100% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 9.0% and its rank moves to 168; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 6.2% for rank 163. A connector — straight potential, but nothing else to lean on.

Its suited/offsuit twin 32s runs at 35.9% (rank 163), a gap of 3.6 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.6 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 42o at 33.3%, and directly below is —, so three hands are packed into a band of 0 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 32o is a favourite against 0 of them and an underdog against 168. Its best matchup is 32s at 47.5% and its worst is 33 at 10.8% — a spread of 36.7 points, which is why calling 32o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little.

It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A3s, which leaves 32o with only 23.4%. A single kicker can move the number by tens of points, and the full table below lists every one of those opponents.

Within the 78 offsuit hands it comes 78 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 33.1 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 0 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 32o lands -18.7 points from the middle of the pack, and 168 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 32.3% against one opponent, 19.3% against two, 11.1% against four and 6.2% against eight. That last figure is 56% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 2.5 points, and it arrives 0.9% of the time (12 of 1,326 combinations).

One caveat worth repeating: every number on this page assumes the opponent holds a completely random hand and that the pot goes to showdown. Real opponents hold ranges, and a range that has already put money in is stronger than random — which is exactly why 32o reads as 32.3% here but plays worse than that against a raise. Use the 168 rows in the table below to see which specific holdings are the problem, rather than treating the headline figure as a verdict on the hand.

32o pairs the board on the flop — at least one of its two ranks hits — 32.4% of the time, and flops top pair or better (the paired card is the highest on the board, or two pair and up) 3.47%. By the river it has made a pair or better 48.7% of the time.

For straights, the flop completes one 0.653% of the time (128 flops), gives an eight-out draw 3.02% and a four-out gutshot 12.7%. By the river a straight using a hole card completes 4.80% of the time.

Put together, 32o flops a pair or better or a strong draw (an eight-out straight draw) 35.6% of the time — rank 107 of the 156 unpaired hands (tied with 1 other). The highest is JTs, T9s, 98s and 4 others at 50.6% and the lowest AKo, A2o at 32.8%.

Against one random hand, 32o goes from 32.3% before the flop up to 57.2% when either card pairs, and down to 20.3% when both miss. It connects 32.4% of the time (6,356 of 19,600 flops). Nothing ranks above 3, so a miss never brings an overcard.

By board shape: rainbow 32.2%, two-tone 32.2%, monotone 34.5%. A monotone flop in one of your suits gives 41.2%. A paired board gives 31.3%, and a connected board (three ranks within five) 29.0%. The best row in the table is "Either card hits (a matching rank on the flop)" at 57.2%, the worst "Neither card hits" at 20.3%.

The 32.3% at the top of the page is a 400,000-hand simulation; this table counts every deal of the opponent's two cards and the five-card board (2,097,572,400 per starting hand), which puts the pre-flop figure at 32.30% (a gap of 0.00 points). Each equity is taken with the flop out and the turn and river still to come.
