## What makes 62s different from similar hands?

62s is 4 combos out of the 1,326 two-card hands and ranks number 156 of the 169 starting-hand classes by equity against a random hand. From the small blind, 62s shoves cleanly 0.5bb deeper than 62o (2bb against 1.5bb). From the big blind, 62s calls cleanly 0.5bb deeper than 62o (3bb against 2.5bb). Suited hands win more often because of flushes, which is why the suited version is the more playable of the pair.

## How were the numbers for 62s computed?

We solve a chips-only game for two players: small blind 0.5, big blind 1, no ante, equal stacks. Starting hands are the 169 classes, weighted so that shared cards are impossible, and equity comes from counting every five-card board. The solver plays itself with best responses, averages them, and fixes the hands on the edge so they are exactly indifferent.

## Questions

**Is 62s a shove at 10bb heads-up?**

No. At 10bb the small blind folds 62s: shoving is worth -0.645 big blinds and folding -0.500.

**Should the big blind call a shove with 62s at 15bb?**

No. At 15bb calling with 62s is worth -4.768 big blinds against -1.000 for folding, so the chart folds.

**Why does 62s change from a shove to a fold as stacks grow?**

Deeper stacks put more chips at risk for the same blinds, and the big blind can afford to call a smaller share of hands. 62s shoves every time only up to 2bb.
