## What makes Q2o different from similar hands?

Q2o is 12 combos out of the 1,326 two-card hands and ranks number 105 of the 169 starting-hand classes by equity against a random hand. From the small blind, Q2o shoves cleanly 5.5bb shallower than Q2s (7bb against 12.5bb). From the big blind, Q2o calls cleanly 1.5bb shallower than Q2s (5.5bb against 7bb). The offsuit version has three times as many combos but gives up the flush equity of its suited twin.

## How were the numbers for Q2o 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 Q2o a shove at 10bb heads-up?**

No. At 10bb the small blind folds Q2o: shoving is worth -0.694 big blinds and folding -0.500.

**Should the big blind call a shove with Q2o at 15bb?**

No. At 15bb calling with Q2o is worth -3.970 big blinds against -1.000 for folding, so the chart folds.

**Why does Q2o 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. Q2o shoves every time only up to 7bb.
