92o

92o (nine-deuce offsuit) wins 39.2% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 149th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 88.2% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 9.8% and its rank moves to 163; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 6.0% for rank 165. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin 92s runs at 42.5% (rank 132), a gap of 3.3 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.3 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 84o at 39.4%, and directly below is 43s at 38.7%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.7 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 92o is a favourite against 42 of them and an underdog against 126. Its best matchup is 82o at 71.9% and its worst is 99 at 6.3% — a spread of 65.6 points, which is why calling 92o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 2 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 87s at 50.3%.

92o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 82o at 71.9%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A9s, which leaves 92o with only 22.2%. 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 64 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 26.2 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 6.9 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 92o lands -11.8 points from the middle of the pack, and 148 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 39.2% against one opponent, 22.8% against two, 12.3% against four and 6.0% against eight. That last figure is 54% 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 92o reads as 39.2% 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.
