Simplified 6-max, ~100 big blind cash-game guides rounded to whole hands. They are a study aid to build habits, not exact solver output; real solutions mix some hands.
Why position changes your range
The later you act, the more you know about what everyone else did, so you can profitably play more hands. Under the gun, with five players still to act, a tight range of about 14% of hands is typical. On the button, you can open about 43%.
The seats are under the gun (UTG), the hijack (HJ), the cutoff (CO), the button (BTN), the small blind (SB) and the big blind (BB). Tap the info button on the chart page for a picture of the table.
What the charts cover
Open-raise ranges for UTG, hijack, cutoff, button and small blind; big blind defence against UTG, cutoff and button opens, split into calls and 3-bets; and what to continue with when you open and the blinds 3-bet.
Drill mode deals you a random hand and asks whether to fold, call or raise, then scores you against the chart.
How to use them
These are simplified guides for 100 big blind cash games, rounded to whole hands. Real solver solutions mix some hands between actions, and the best play also depends on your opponents. Use the charts to learn the shape of a sensible range, not as a rulebook.
Frequently asked questions
Are these charts GTO?
They are solver-style ranges simplified to whole hands, so they are a study aid rather than exact solver output.
What stack depth do they assume?
About 100 big blinds, at a six-handed cash-game table.
What do UTG, HJ, CO and BTN mean?
Under the gun, hijack, cutoff and button: the seats in order from first to act before the flop to last to act.
Do they work for tournaments?
Not directly. Tournament ranges change with stack size, the blind structure and payout pressure.
