## What makes 92s different from similar hands?

92s is 4 combos out of the 1,326 two-card hands and ranks number 132 of the 169 starting-hand classes by equity against a random hand. From the small blind, 92s shoves cleanly 1bb deeper than 92o (3bb against 2bb). From the big blind, 92s calls cleanly 0.5bb deeper than 92o (3.5bb against 3bb). 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 92s 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.
