T9s

T9s (ten-nine suited) wins 54.0% of the time against a single random opponent, which places it 65th out of the 169 starting hands — the top 38.5% of the range. At a six-handed table (five opponents) its equity falls to 22.3% and its rank moves to 32; nine-handed (eight opponents) it holds 16.3% for rank 22. A suited connector — straight and flush draws in the same holding.

Its suited/offsuit twin T9o runs at 51.4% (rank 79), a gap of 2.6 points. Sharing a suit is worth exactly those 2.6 points here — nothing about the ranks changes. The hand directly above it in the ranking is J8s at 54.0%, and directly below is Q8o at 53.7%, so three hands are packed into a band of 0.3 points.

Played heads-up against each of the other 168 hands, T9s is a favourite against 76 of them and an underdog against 92. Its best matchup is 92o at 76.2% and its worst is TT at 17.5% — a spread of 58.7 points, which is why calling T9s simply "strong" or "weak" says very little. 3 opponents land inside one point of a coinflip, the closest being 77 at 50.0%.

T9s dominates 8 hands that share one of its ranks, pushing hardest against 92o at 76.2%. It is dominated by 8 hands in return, the worst of them JTs, which leaves T9s with only 29.8%. 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 suited hands it comes 31 of 78. The strongest hand in that group, AKs, is 13.2 points away, and the weakest, 32s, sits 18.1 points below. Measured against the average equity of all 169 hands, 51%, T9s lands +3 points from the middle of the pack, and 64 hands in the full ranking are still ahead of it.

Adding players costs equity steadily: 54.0% against one opponent, 38.9% against two, 25.7% against four and 16.3% against eight. That last figure is 147% of an even nine-way share (11.1%). The Chen formula scores this hand at 8 points, and it arrives 0.3% of the time (4 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 T9s reads as 54.0% 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.
