What this tool covers

Sixty-eight preflop charts, all from the same single solver source so the math actually adds up. Opens, facing raises, RFI-vs-3-bet response, BB defense, and a handful of Small Blind spots that don't fit anywhere else — including the SB limp tree, because SB really is its own beast at 100bb.

Everything assumes 9-max, 100bb effective with an ante in play. One sizing tree, one solution. No format toggle to babysit.

How to read this chart

The grid is a 13×13 starting-hand matrix. Pocket pairs run down the diagonal (top-left AA → bottom-right 22). Suited hands sit above the diagonal — AKs is one cell to the right of AA. Offsuit hands sit below — AKo is one cell below AA.

Cell colors map to actions. Different categories use different palettes — the legend below the chart updates with the spot. A red cell in an "Open" chart means raise; a red cell in a "Facing a Raise" chart means 3-bet for value; in a "vs 3-Bet" chart it means 4-bet for value. Same color, different verb.

The percentage above the chart is the share of all 1,326 starting-hand combinations the colored region covers — combo-weighted, not class-weighted. Pairs are 6 combos, suited hands are 4, and offsuit hands are 12.

What these ranges assume

Solver outputs depend on bet sizing. These charts all assume one consistent sizing tree, listed below. If your live game runs on different sizes, the ranges still give you a strong baseline — just don't memorize them as gospel for every limit you play.

Stack & format

Effective stack: 100 big blinds.
Format: 9-max with an ante.
Solution type: GTO equilibrium.

In position

Open: 2.5bb
3-bet: 3× the open
4-bet: 2.5× the 3-bet

Out of position

Open: 3.5bb
3-bet: 3.5× the open
4-bet: 2.75× the 3-bet

Stack range

Charts hold up reasonably well from roughly 50bb up. Below that, push/fold logic starts crowding out the standard tree — these charts aren't for that.

Use these as a baseline, not gospel

These ranges are a starting framework. Real decisions also factor in opponent tendencies, table dynamics, ICM in tournaments, and your own image. Treat the chart as a baseline and deviate when you have a real read or real information that justifies it.

The chart tells you what's never bad. Reads tell you when to do something better.

Studying preflop ranges between sessions is part of how serious players build their game. Using charts at the table during play is generally against the rules at most poker rooms and online sites — these are study tools, not in-game crutches.

Frequently asked

The questions players ask most often about preflop charts and how to use these.

What changed from the old version of this tool?

The previous edition was opening ranges only, but spread across five different format/stakes tabs. This rebuild trades that breadth for depth: one consistent format (9-max, 100bb, GTO), but every preflop spot covered — opens, facing raises, RFI vs 3-bet response, BB defense, and Small Blind specials.

Sixty-eight charts total, all from the same single-source solver so the math is internally consistent across spots.

How do I read these charts?

The grid is a 13×13 hand matrix. Pocket pairs run down the diagonal from AA in the top left to 22 in the bottom right. Suited hands sit above the diagonal — AKs is the cell just to the right of AA. Offsuit hands sit below the diagonal — AKo is the cell just below AA.

Cell colors are actions. The legend updates with the spot you're viewing — red is value (raise / 3-bet for value / 4-bet for value), blue is bluff raises, green is calling (or limping in the SB chart), and muted gray is fold or "not in your range." Tap any cell for the exact hand label and action.

What stack depth, format, and sizings do these assume?

9-max, 100bb effective with an ante, GTO equilibrium. In position: 2.5bb open, 3× open as the 3-bet, 2.5× the 3-bet as the 4-bet. Out of position: 3.5bb open, 3.5× open as the 3-bet, 2.75× the 3-bet as the 4-bet. Different sizes will move the equilibrium a bit.

The charts are still useful from roughly 50bb up. Below that, you're heading into push/fold territory, which is its own kind of math.

Why does the Small Blind RFI chart have a "limp" color?

Because SB really does limp at 100bb GTO equilibrium. With an ante in play and the BB closing action behind, the Small Blind solves to a mixed strategy of opens and limps — limping with a wide value-and-air range that includes some monsters held back for limp-3-bet purposes.

That's also why the "SB Limp vs BB Raise" chart exists — once SB limps and BB raises, SB needs a complete continuation strategy. AA, KK, and AKo show up there as 3-bets for value because they were limped behind the bushes for exactly this moment.

Why are some opener positions combined (CO/BTN, HJ/CO, SB/BB)?

When the response range against two different opponents is essentially identical at solver-level, we collapse them into one chart. CO and BTN tend to 3-bet your UTG open with the same range; SB and BB do too. Combining keeps the number of charts manageable without losing accuracy.

Where the response actually differs meaningfully — for example UTG+1 vs HJ vs CO — you get separate charts for each.

Why do gray cells appear inside vs-3-bet charts?

In a "you opened, they 3-bet" chart, the dark gray cells are hands that were in your opening range but get folded against the 3-bet. White cells are hands that weren't in your opening range to begin with — they'd never have reached the 3-bet decision. Both add up to "fold to 3-bet" in practice, but the visual distinction shows you what was in your range vs not.

Should I really play this exactly?

No. These charts are a starting framework, not gospel. Real decisions also factor in opponent tendencies (recreational tables play nothing like reg tables), table dynamics, ICM in tournaments, and your own image at the table.

Treat the chart as a baseline and deviate when you have a real read or real information that justifies it. The chart tells you what's never bad. Reads tell you when to do something better.

Can I use this at the table?

Generally no. Most live rooms and online sites prohibit consulting external aids during a hand. Treat this as a study tool — drill it between sessions until the patterns are second nature, then play from memory. The point is to understand the why, not lean on the chart in real time.

Why don't the percentages match other published charts I've seen?

Two reasons. First, simplified "implementable" ranges round mixed-frequency hands to clean decisions for memorization, which shifts the total combo count slightly compared to the raw solver output. Second, different solvers using different rake structures and sizing trees produce slightly different equilibria — there isn't one universal correct answer to a few tenths of a percent.

The percentages shown next to each chart on this page are computed directly from the hands in the chart, so chart and percentage are always mathematically consistent with each other. Total combos always sum to 1,326.
