To remember the order of the four lowest-value hands, just remember the number series “0, 1, 2, 3.” 0 means “high card.” Having nothing in your hand means the value of your hand depends on the value of your highest card. Remember – in poker, aces rank high, while 2’s rank low.
What is a range in poker?
What Are Poker Ranges? A range is a collection of all the possible hands a player can have right this moment. Ranges exist both preflop and postflop, and can vary widely since tight players will have fewer hands in their range and looser players will have many starting hands in their range.
What’s the expected value of folding in preflop?
Given that folding yields an expected value (EV) of zero, you want to choose to raise with hands which will have a positive EV. Below is a chart outlining the RFI ranges for a 6-max table (taken from our free preflop charts ), assuming effective stack sizes are 100 big blinds:
Why do you need a pre flop range chart?
The ranges in my pre-flop charts are based on sound theory and practical experience. It will help both novice and experienced players tidy up their game quite a bit if they’ve never had much formal poker training. Opening Ranges are based on the concept of variable positional ranges, or more commonly known as being positionally aware.
How to calculate the preflop range in poker?
By memorizing these ranges, you can quickly deduce a 17% preflop calling range (likely a 20% range minus the QQ+/AK 2.5% range). You can deduce a 30% preflop open-raising range by removing a few hands from that 33% range. Etc.
What are the rake levels for preflop simple?
The ‘Simple’ modules use a simplified game-tree where all positions except the big blind play 3bet/fold and the SB has no limping range (again with different sizings used for ‘A’ and ‘B’). NL 100 (midA) uses mid-stakes rake levels (5%, 2.5bb cap). NL 100 (midB) uses different rake settings (5%, 3bb cap, preflop 3bets+ raked).
