73o

73o (seven-three offsuit) wins 36.6% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 160th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 94.7% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 10.1% and its rank moves to 161; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 6.4% for rank 160. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin 73s runs at 40.1% (rank 143), a gap of 3.5 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.5 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 82o at 36.8%, and directly below is 53o at 36.3%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.5 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 73o is a favourite against 22 of them and an underdog against 146. Its best matchup is 32o at 67.8% and its worst is 77 at 8.4% — a spread of 59.4 points, which is why calling 73o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 65s at 50.1%.

73o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 32o at 67.8%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A7s, which leaves 73o with only 23.8%. 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 70 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 28.8 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 4.3 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 73o lands -14.4 points from the middle of the pack, and 159 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 36.6% against one opponent, 22.3% against two, 12.2% against four and 6.4% against eight. That last figure is 58% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at -0.5 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 73o reads as 36.6% 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.
