    We use matrices to display which range of hands
    you should play from a given situation because it is the best,
    quickest, and easiest way to know what hands to play.

    Preflop Charts
    The ranges that follow, are the hands you should
    Raise First In (RFI).
    In other words, these are the hands you should
    play preflop when the action folds to you,
    and you should play them by raising.
    The best way to approach
    RFI is to pick
    a range of hands which you believe is strong
    enough to play from a given situation,
    then raise with all of them using raise size.
    You should use a consistent size in order to give away as little
    information about what you might have as possible.
    We advocate using a raise size anywhere between
    2. timesand4 times the size of the big blind
    when you have a hand worth playing.

    Preflop Charts FAQ

    Where is the chart for Big


    the Blind
    ?
    These areRaise First Incharts, meaning
    you raise with these hands when the action
    folds around to you.
    When the action folds around to youBigin the
    Blind,
    the hand is over and you win the pot.

    ?
    If I choose which hands to play based on
    these charts, won’t that make me predictable

    It’s very unlikely you will become predictable


    to your opponents by using these charts.
    Your opponents would have to be paying
    very close attention to you over thousands of hands
    in order to figure out the exact hands you are playing.

    ?
    So, should I always stick to these charts exactly
    when choosing which preflop hands to raise

    No. Think of these charts as your baseline


    strategy, and be ready to adjust based on the
    play at your table.
    • I f your table is full of and aggressive players
    loose ,
    you should play tighterthan these charts indicate.
    • I f your table is full of and passive players
    tight ,
    you should play looserthan these charts indicate.
