For any player who wants to win at poker, it is essential to master the preflop game. We created these preflop charts to make this skill accessible to any motivated poker player.
We designed these charts using the best tools that provide game strategies based on optimal game theory (GTO). We then reworked them to make them easier to understand and to remember.
Each chart gives you the ideal preflop game strategy for each pair of cards you may be dealt.
For example:
Thanks to this chart, you can for example see that in Small Blind against a raise of the Button you must fold most of your hands, go all-in with some of the remaining hands and re-raise with your top hands (AA and KK).
Note : “o” and “s” after the hand, like AKo or 64s for example, mean:
Second note:
It is important to note that the decisions suggested by these charts do not necessarily have to be followed to the letter. The ideal is to know how to adapt to the dynamics of the table and to your opponents.
Poker Sciences also offers you what no other poker site offers to our knowledge: explanations to help you understand and remember the charts.
Indeed, memorizing numerous range charts is a very difficult task for all poker players but our detailed explanations will facilitate your progress.
Spin & Go formats, such as Spin & Gold, Expresso and Twister, are dynamic and fast-paced, played in 3-max or heads-up (HU). With small stacks, typically between 10bb and 25bb, players are forced to make quick and precise decisions. This format therefore demands effective preflop strategies to maximize EV.
Our charts are designed to be unexploitable in all situations, but this doesn’t mean they are always the most profitable. In games with weak players, where opponents make predictable mistakes (like opening too wide or defending too weakly), it may be beneficial to deviate from your ranges.
We provide charts for nearly 90% of the situations encountered in 3-way and heads-up (HU) in Spin & Go. These charts cover the most common scenarios, offering optimal strategies to maximize your chances of success in these setups.
Here is an example of a situation you might come across:
MTT tournaments in 6-max require great strategic flexibility, especially with stack sizes that vary throughout the game. Preflop decisions, especially open-raise ranges and big blind defense, become crucial to maximize your chances of success.
Our ranges focus on open-raise and BB defense situations, covering a wide variety of stack depths, from 15bb to 100bb. These charts are designed to be balanced and resilient against competent opponents, while remaining simple to apply at the table.
