The one-opponent values are exact. Two to eight opponents use 100,000 seeded deals per point; small differences can be sampling noise. All opponents have random hands. These curves do not measure profit or account for position, betting or opponents folding.

How to play 97s
Suited cards close in rank make straights and flushes more often than other unpaired hands, and seldom make a strong one pair.
First in
Raise from the button and the small blind; fold from under the gun, middle position and the cutoff.
Facing a raise
Call from the big blind; fold from middle position, the cutoff, the button and the small blind.
Facing a 3-bet
Call from the button; fold from under the gun, middle position, the cutoff and the big blind.

Where these numbers come from
Heads-up equity comes from the same preflop table the odds calculator uses, which averages each pair of hands over every board and suit pattern. Against a random hand, your own two cards make some hands less likely: holding an ace leaves three aces for the other player, so each hand counts once for every way it can still be dealt. Equity against several players is sampled with a fixed seed, so it can move by a few tenths of a point from the exact figure. The flop figures count every one of the 19,600 flops.
