How to play it. Fold in almost every spot, except defending the big blind against a small raise.

Q2o pairs at least one of its cards on the flop 32.4% of the time and makes two pair or better 5.7% of the time.

The suited version, Q2s, wins 50.1% heads-up, 2.6 points more.

Against nine opponents it wins only 6.7%, less than its fair share of 10.0%, so it does poorly in crowded pots.
