See how a known card or a board pair changes the count, plus its rank and equity. A fifty-two card deck deals 94o in 12 combos, 0.90% of the 1,326 two-card hands. Its place in the ranking of 169 classes is number 140, backed by 40.67% equity against a random hand. - Combos: 12 - Share of 1,326: 0.90% - Rank of 169: 140 - Equity vs random: 40.67% - This hand and stronger: 79.79% ## 94o: the 12 combos For 94o, there are 4 nines and 4 fours, so 16 pairings, and the 4 that share a suit belong to the suited hand. That leaves 12. Every 94o you can be dealt is one of these 12 holdings. They are listed once each, higher card first. The 12 combos of 94o: 9s 4h, 9s 4d, 9s 4c, 9h 4s, 9h 4d, 9h 4c, 9d 4s, 9d 4h, 9d 4c, 9c 4s, 9c 4h, 9c 4d. ## How cards you can see change the count Known cards cannot be in an opponent's hand. For 94o, the table lists the combos left after one card of each rank is out of play. 94o combos left after one known card of each rank: | Known card | 94o combos left | | --- | --- | | Ace | 12 | | King | 12 | | Queen | 12 | | Jack | 12 | | Ten | 12 | | Nine | 9 | | Eight | 12 | | Seven | 12 | | Six | 12 | | Five | 12 | | Four | 9 | | Three | 12 | | Two | 12 | A nine or a four you can see leaves 9 of 12, so 25% of the combos are gone. Any card of a different rank leaves all 12 combos in play. ## When the board is paired A pair on the board uses up two of the four cards of its rank. The 94o combos that survive are in the table, one row per rank. 94o combos left after a pair of each rank on the board: | Board pair | 94o combos left | | --- | --- | | Aces | 12 | | Kings | 12 | | Queens | 12 | | Jacks | 12 | | Tens | 12 | | Nines | 6 | | Eights | 12 | | Sevens | 12 | | Sixes | 12 | | Fives | 12 | | Fours | 6 | | Threes | 12 | | Twos | 12 | Pairing nines or fours on the board cuts 94o to 6 combos. Every other paired board leaves the full 12. ## A worked example Take a hand of a nine and a two. Your opponent then holds one of 1,225 possible hands, and 9 of them are 94o. That is 0.73%, or 1 in 136, instead of the 0.98% (1 in 102) you get when your cards do not block it. ## How strong is 94o? Rank 140 of 169 belongs to 94o, among the 30 weakest classes, on 40.67% equity against a random hand. Equity here is wins plus half of the ties across all boards. Add 94o to every hand ranked above it and you hold 1,058 of the 1,326 two-card hands, 79.79% of all deals. ## 94o against ranges of hands A range is a list of hands, and equity against it weights each hand by its live combos. For 94o the five ranges give 19.32% against the top 5 percent (60 combos), 25.94% against the top 10 percent (130 combos), 28.91% against the top 20 percent (264 combos), 30.04% against the top 30 percent (386 combos) and 31.89% against the top 50 percent (658 combos). 94o equity against the strongest hands: | Opponent range | Combos in range | 94o equity | | --- | --- | --- | | Top 5 percent | 60 | 19.32% | | Top 10 percent | 130 | 25.94% | | Top 20 percent | 264 | 28.91% | | Top 30 percent | 386 | 30.04% | | Top 50 percent | 658 | 31.89% | 94o is behind all five of these ranges, even the top 50 percent, so it is the underdog on average against each of them. Holding 94o removes some premium combos from an opponent's reach: of the 130 in the top 10 percent, an average of 126.00 remain. That is 4.00 combos fewer than the 130 an opponent has before you look. ## Hands next to 94o A one-place difference in rank can be a large or small gap in a direct matchup. 94o has 59.70% equity against 83s, the hand ranked number 139: it wins 58.16% of boards, ties 3.08% and loses 38.76%.

The known-card rows remove every combo that uses a card of that rank; the board-pair rows remove those that use either of two such cards. Rank and equity read our table of all 169 by 169 preflop matchups, each counted over every one of the 1,712,304 boards. Ties count as half a win, and a range is weighted by its live combos.
