How to play it before the flop

The fundamentals charts never open it at a 6-max table: it is a preflop fold when the pot is unopened. If the button opens and you are in the big blind, the chart says fold.

No suit, no connection, no high card to carry a pot: this is the part of the deck you fold. Against the button range — the widest at the table — it has 33.0%. No line fixes a hand like this; the money you save folding it is the money you win.

What this hand makes

You pair one of your two cards on 32.4% of flops. Going to the river every time, the hand ends up as pair 45.6% of the time and stays high card 19.0%.

Where it ends up if you see all five cards

Exact enumeration, no sampling: the flop events run through all 19,600 possible flops and the final distribution through all 2,118,760 five-card boards. The distribution assumes you always reach the river, so it describes the hand’s potential rather than a real session, where most hands are folded earlier. Open-ended includes double gutshots (two distinct ranks complete it).

Against the reference ranges

Equity if the hand goes to the river against an opponent holding exactly that range. 120,000-hand Monte Carlo with a fixed seed, computed by our engine.
