Expected Value Chart by Position. These statistics were compiled by a major online poker room from an expected value page from their database of millions of real live hands.

Small blind opening range; Final words on poker range construction & poker range analysis; Knowing what hands to play preflop is key to your poker success! Once the filter is in place, you can use the hand chart table to see what hands are most frequently opened and how profitable they are to open. The best hand from our chart, A A K K, is 33% to win, 41% to tie, and 26% to lose to the second-best hand, A A T J. This represents a 7% edge while in Hold'em it's 83 – 17 = 66%. It does get much better once you go down the list of top hands, but in essence, edges in Omaha are never very large.

Have you ever found yourself mid-game staring at your HUD while facing an open from a player with an RFI stat of 21% and thought to yourself, “What hands are in his range?” Or while playing live, have you estimated that your opponent calls an open 40% of the time but didn’t know what hands comprise that range?

Starting Hands & Table Position Chart Whether you are an experienced poker player, or just getting to know the game, you might find the Starting Hands Chart below helpful to improve your game.

Well, I’ll show you the easy way to learn poker ranges for quick reference in the future.

First, here’s a Poker Range Chromatic I created for my own use:

I wanted to learn where each hand falls within a range and the above is what I came up with. I used Flopzilla to figure out which hands fall within each percentage grouping. I just started with a 5% range, then went by 5’s up to 40%, then followed that with 10’s up through 60% then 75%. I used color coding to help visualize the ranges.

I then took the following steps to learn the ranges:

1. Printed the chromatic I made, laminated and posted it on the side of my computer monitor for quick in-game reference.
2. Created 11 flash cards for use each night as part of my warm-up, and I put the following on them:
3. For one week during my study session I would do a hand history review from the previous night’s session and each time I faced an open I looked at their RFI Stat in that position and determined what range it fell under. I would say aloud, “20% in the CO… that’s 22+, A7s+, ATo+, K9s+, KTo+, Q9s, QTo+, JTo and 98s+.” That’s all there was to it. After that first week I got them all down. This is especially helpful when playing live as I can’t glance to the side of my screen to get an estimate on an opp’s range. Now, it’s easier to remember the bottom of the ranges as you’re trying to learn these. So, when thinking about 20%, the bottoms are 33, A7s, ATo, Q9s, JTo and 98s. If you just remember those 6 hands for 20%, you know it includes everything better than those. So if the question arises for a hand like K8s, you know that K9s is the bottom at 25% and K7s is the bottom of 30%, so it’s within the 30% range and just under the 25% range.

Please let me know if you would make tweaks to these ranges as I always love feedback.

Study hard and make your next session the best one yet!
