T9o

T9o (ten-nine offsuit) wins 51.4% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 79th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 46.7% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 19.1% and its rank moves to 53; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 12.5% for rank 68. A connector — straight potential, but nothing else to lean on.

Its suited/offsuit twin T9s runs at 54.0% (rank 65), a gap of 2.6 points. Losing the shared suit costs 2.6 points of raw equity. The hand directly above it in the ranking is J8o at 51.6%, and directly below is K3o at 51.3%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.3 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, T9o is a favourite against 73 of them and an underdog against 95. Its best matchup is 92o at 75.6% and its worst is TT at 12.9% — a spread of 62.7 points, which is why calling T9o simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 55 at 50.0%.

T9o dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 92o at 75.6%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them JTs, which leaves T9o with only 25.8%. 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 30 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKo, is 14 points away, and the weakest, 32o, sits 19.1 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, T9o lands +0.4 points from the middle of the pack, and 78 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 51.4% against one opponent, 36.1% against two, 22.6% against four and 12.5% against eight. That last figure is 113% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 6 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 T9o reads as 51.4% 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.
