See how a known card or a board pair changes the count, plus its rank and equity. 93o is 12 combos out of the 1,326 possible two-card starting hands, or 0.90% of all deals. By equity against a random hand (40.02%) it ranks number 144 of the 169 starting-hand classes. - Combos: 12 - Share of 1,326: 0.90% - Rank of 169: 144 - Equity vs random: 40.02% - This hand and stronger: 82.20% ## 93o: the 12 combos An offsuit hand pairs any nine with any three of a different suit: 4 x 4 = 16 pairings, minus the 4 suited ones, leaves 12. Here is every one of the 12 combos, written as the two cards you would see. Clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades each appear in the way the count above requires. The 12 combos of 93o: 9s 3h, 9s 3d, 9s 3c, 9h 3s, 9h 3d, 9h 3c, 9d 3s, 9d 3h, 9d 3c, 9c 3s, 9c 3h, 9c 3d. ## How cards you can see change the count Seeing a card changes which hands are possible. Here is the count of 93o combos that remain after you hold, or the board shows, one card of each rank. 93o combos left after one known card of each rank: | Known card | 93o combos left | | --- | --- | | Ace | 12 | | King | 12 | | Queen | 12 | | Jack | 12 | | Ten | 12 | | Nine | 9 | | Eight | 12 | | Seven | 12 | | Six | 12 | | Five | 12 | | Four | 12 | | Three | 9 | | Two | 12 | Holding a nine or a three takes 93o from 12 combos down to 9, a cut of 25%. Any card of a different rank leaves all 12 combos in play. ## When the board is paired A paired board shows two cards of one rank, and those two cards cannot be in an opponent's hand either. The table shows the 93o combos left when the board holds a pair of each rank. 93o combos left after a pair of each rank on the board: | Board pair | 93o combos left | | --- | --- | | Aces | 12 | | Kings | 12 | | Queens | 12 | | Jacks | 12 | | Tens | 12 | | Nines | 6 | | Eights | 12 | | Sevens | 12 | | Sixes | 12 | | Fives | 12 | | Fours | 12 | | Threes | 6 | | Twos | 12 | Nines or threes paired on the board leave 6 combos of 93o, and no other pair changes the count of 12. ## A worked example You hold a nine and a two. Your opponent's hand is one of 1,225 equally likely two-card holdings. 9 of them are 93o, which is 0.73%, or about 1 in 136. If your two cards had nothing to do with 93o, the same hand would have 12 combos and a 0.98% chance, about 1 in 102. ## How strong is 93o? Measured against a random hand, 93o has 40.02% equity and the number 144 spot of 169, among the 30 weakest classes. Wins count once and ties count half. Together with all stronger classes, 93o covers 1,090 combos, which is 82.20% of the 1,326 starting hands. ## 93o against ranges of hands Against a range, equity is averaged over every hand in it, weighted by how many combos of each hand are still possible. 93o makes 19.26% against the top 5 percent (60 combos), 25.88% against the top 10 percent (130 combos), 28.82% against the top 20 percent (264 combos), 29.86% against the top 30 percent (386 combos) and 31.55% against the top 50 percent (658 combos). 93o equity against the strongest hands: | Opponent range | Combos in range | 93o equity | | --- | --- | --- | | Top 5 percent | 60 | 19.26% | | Top 10 percent | 130 | 25.88% | | Top 20 percent | 264 | 28.82% | | Top 30 percent | 386 | 29.86% | | Top 50 percent | 658 | 31.55% | 93o is behind all five of these ranges, even the top 50 percent, so it is the underdog on average against each of them. Your own cards block part of an opponent's strong range. The top 10 percent holds 130 combos, and when you hold a combo of 93o an average of 126.00 of them stay possible. That is 4.00 combos fewer than the 130 an opponent has before you look. ## Hands next to 93o Compare 93o with the hand ranked just above it and the hand just below it. 93o has 66.45% equity against 73s, the hand ranked number 143: it wins 61.76% of boards, ties 9.38% and loses 28.86%. It is the favorite in that matchup. 93o has 54.95% equity against 65o, the hand ranked number 145: it wins 53.33% of boards, ties 3.23% and loses 43.44%. It is the favorite in that matchup.

A table row then deletes the combos that need a card known to be elsewhere, and the survivors are tallied. Equity comes from an exact table of preflop matchups, every one of the 1,712,304 boards counted. A tie is half a win, and each hand in a range is weighted by the combos your cards leave.
