72 offsuit Odds at a 2-Player Table
From 50,000 simulated deals. A random two cards would win about 50%.
That makes 72 offsuit a below-average hand at this table size. It ties 5.62% of the time and loses the remaining 62.49% — and remember that “wins” here means every player stays to showdown, which real tables never do. In practice opponents fold, so a hand’s true value depends heavily on position and how many players are still live when it’s your turn to act.
Among all 169 starting hands at a 2-player table, 72 offsuit is the 5th weakest of 169.
Table size alone moves this hand more than most players expect: 72 offsuit wins 31.89% heads-up against a single opponent, but only 4.59% at a full 9-player table — a 27.3 point swing from nothing but how many players are dealt in, before anyone has acted.
