How to play it. Fold in almost every spot, except defending the big blind against a small raise.
95o pairs at least one of its cards on the flop 32.4% of the time and makes two pair or better 6.0% of the time.
The suited version, 95s, wins 45.9% heads-up, 3.3 points more.
The cards are close enough to make straights, so 95o gains value in pots with several players.
Against nine opponents it wins only 6.7%, less than its fair share of 10.0%, so it does poorly in crowded pots.
