Instructions

These preflop charts are designed to give you a fundamentally sound starting point for your preflop decisions. While
these charts will work well in most situations, you should adjust them to take your specific situation into account.

There are three sets of charts. The Raise First In (RFI) charts show which hands to play when everyone folds to you.
The RFI vs. 3-bet charts show how to play when you RFI and then someone yet to act 3-bets. The Facing RFI charts
show how to play when someone raises before you.

The charts assume 100 big blind effective stacks with an ante in play. They apply to roughly 50 big blind stacks and
larger.

Make the play listed from in position using a 2.5 big blind initial raise size, a 3-bet size that is 3 times the opponent’s
raise, and a 4-bet size that is 2.5 times the opponent’s 3-bet. From out of position, use a 3.5 big blind initial raise
size, a 3-bet size that is 3.5 times the opponent’s raise, and a 4-bet size that is 2.75 times the opponent’s 3-bet.

These charts are an excellent default, but playing a default strategy in all situations will result in you being a roughly
break-even poker player. Check out the PokerCoaching.com quizzes and challenges for an in-depth look at when to
deviate from the charts. Adjust to take advantage of whatever your opponents do incorrectly and the money will flow
your way.

BTN RFI vs SB/BB 3bet SB RFI vs BB 3bet SB Limp vs BB Raise

AA, KK, and AKo are not in the SB RFI vs BB 3bet range. This is because these
hands were limped, so they are used as a limp/3-bet for value.
