Starting Hands

[ND1991]

So I have read too much on this particular subject. +EV, M value, starting hands, drawing hands, and on and on and on. Nothing about the below is "definitive" but having going through multiple sources, the chart below is intended to be a guide on "generally accepted" starting hands. There are many theories out there. I put this together for myself based on many of them and personal playing statistics.

Hopefully it will provide at a minimum an intersting topic for discussion, and hopefully more to some.

Cool chart.

Kinda hard to read at first but once ya get the gist of it it's pretty simple.

Makes me think I play far too tight.

I used to be a mega-nit, open folding KQ every time I got it but I have opened up my game a fair bit in the last few months and am still working on it.

Your chart could be a good reference point.

Cheers.
