94o

94o (nine-four offsuit) wins 40.7% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 140th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 82.8% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 10.4% and its rank moves to 159; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 6.3% for rank 162. Two unconnected offsuit cards — the class of hand most often overvalued.

Its suited/offsuit twin 94s runs at 43.8% (rank 123), a gap of 3.1 points. Losing the shared suit costs 3.1 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is 83s at 40.7%, and directly below is 75o at 40.5%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.2 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, 94o is a favourite against 46 of them and an underdog against 122. Its best matchup is 84o at 70.2% and its worst is 99 at 7.0% — a spread of 63.2 points, which is why calling 94o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 93s at 50.1%.

94o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 84o at 70.2%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them A9s, which leaves 94o with only 23.0%. 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 59 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 24.7 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 8.4 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, 94o lands -10.3 points from the middle of the pack, and 139 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 40.7% against one opponent, 24.9% against two, 13.1% against four and 6.3% against eight. That last figure is 57% 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 94o reads as 40.7% 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.
